I managed to get Ctrl-Alt-L to lock the screen with Compiz, but the session menu item will not work. I tried: making symlinks from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver and from gnome-screensaver-command to xscreensaver-command adding a .service file to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ called org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service with the following content: [D-BUS Service] Name=org.gnome.ScreenSaver Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver I also tried that with Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver after creating the symlink. I'm not too familiar with dbus so I'm not sure what else I should do. Using gnome-screensaver is an option that follows dumping Gnome and choosing another distro in desirability. In other words, no chance. If gnome won't work with a real screensaver app that's additional activation energy to move me to another distro.
