Bug Description

[IMPACT]
* When running gnome-shell from lightDM, it is not possible to Lock screen or suspend from the user/system Menu.

* This is due to gnome-screensaver no longer auto-starting when running a non-fallback
gnome-shell session. We need to explicitly start gnome-screensaver in this case.

[TESTCASE]
1. From lightDM log into a gnome-shell Session
2. From user Menu try to Lock or Suspend. It wont work.
3. using keyboard lock screen with ctrl+alt+L, this forces gnome-screensaver to start.
4. again try and lock or suspend and it will work.

[Regression Potential]
None. We are just forcing gnome-screensaver to start for the shell-on-lightdm use case.

== Original Bug Report ==
When running lightDM, the "Lock" option under the gnome-shell User Menu, does not work. Clicking on this does nothing but if you try to lock screen using keyboard (ctrl+alt+L) the it works and also all subsequent clicks on "Lock" option start to work.

We need to explicitly load gnome-screensaver when initializing screenshield Fallback, since it doesnt get auto-started when running gnome-shell.

Francisco, this particular bug has already been fixed, so you are probably experiencing a different bug. Unless you can reproduce the behaviour exactly as listed in the testcase in the first post, please file a new bug using 'ubuntu-bug gnome-shell'.
