Title:
  xdg-screensaver doesn't lock screen with light-locker

Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When a screen-locking method is available, 'xdg-screensaver lock'
  should always lock the screen.

  Steps to reproduce:

  On a fresh installation of Lubuntu 14.04, run:

  $ xdg-screensaver lock

  Expected:
  [screen locks]

  Actual:
  ERROR: Unknown command 'lock'

  However, it is possible to lock the screen via:

  $ light-locker-command -l

  The xdg-screensaver script uses one of several external utilities,
  depending on the desktop environment. It falls through to
  screensaver_xserver() at line 697 (or 740, because the function is
  duplicated!), which does not include a lock function, even though one
  is available.

  This is a problem because xfce4-power-manager (part of lubuntu-
  desktop) uses xdg-screensaver to lock the screen on suspend under
  Lubuntu, but this has no effect. This may represent a security risk as
  a computer configured to (and reasonably assumed to) lock on suspend
  will actually resume straight to the desktop.
