Title:
  No indication that lock screen is suppressed

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some applications suppress the screensaver, preventing the computer
  from automatically locking. It is possible to be completely unaware of
  such an application or process.

  This is a security issue. I sometimes come back to my computer only to
  realise that it never locked itself, yet it's set to time out after a
  minute.

  I suggest that when the screensaver is suppressed, an icon should
  appear in the indicator applet, as does for elevated privileges (See
  the screenshot).
