I can lock the screen from the Screensaver menu, and I can lock it from the commandline - xscreesaver-command -lock. I just can't lock it from the Gnome Desktop menu, and the screensaver daemon isn't being started automatically at loging, although it starts fine manually. I can probably figure it out from here after doing some reading. Thanks for the info.
