Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
Why today have the developers decided that lock screen is not needed any more and start screensaver is more important. There is no point to it, why would you want to start screensaver!
Yes, I know that if you configure the screen saver to ask for login when the screen saver is stopped by the user, it will act the same way as lock screen. However, not everyone will have that option checked, making this option useless. It is also confusing for the user to have a start screen saver option.
Put lock screen back!

Thank you for your bug report, that seems a bug the entry should dynamically be lock screen or start screensaver. Ted, it seems that has been adding a new string too?
