I have been using xscreensaver since gnome stopped using a screensaver.
I dont use lock screen,and it has had no effect on gnome shell that I
could determine.One way of doing it is to have screen saver in the start
menu. Xscreensaver works as a stand alone and would need no patch. The
way it is now you have to set it up to start at boot and most people
would have trouble doing that.

Title:
  Have the optional ability to have a screensaver

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Opinion
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Even though I understand that Ubuntu early on decided to move away
  from screensavers and to just have a black screen, not all users will
  like this. So I think that it would be good if there was at least the
  optional ability in the gnome-control-center to have a screensaver.
  This could possible be achieved by having gnome-screensaver installed
  by default and then including some settings for it in the gnome-
  control-center (as it does not have its own settings GUI, not does it
  integrate with the gnome-control-center to place any settings
  associated with it there).
