sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command

    I'm another user who dislikes the default screen-saver of Oneric.

    I installed XScreenSaver, but when I want to lock the screen, it doesn't work using CTRL+ALT+L , or using the option on the user menu.

    How can I get the locking behavior to work properly?
