I don't see anything in the FAQ about D-BUS.

One other thing.  I now have two  Screensaver selections under 
Desktop/Preferences.  One has the old icon (screen with the red fire in 
front of it), and when I open that one, it says "The XScreenSaver daemon 
doesn't seem to be running on display ":0.0".  Launch it now?

If I click on OK, it starts up and the screensaver works, but screenlock 
still does not.
