More info.   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.
