Well, you are exactly right Miroslav. After I turned on
the screensaver from the control center, "Lock screen"
worked fine.
Is xscreensaver really the best choice for the screen
locking program? I don't think one should be required
to run a screensaver in order to lock her terminal. Not
to mention how time consuming and difficult this problem
was to diagnose. Sheesh.
