For me, the gnome-screensaver also has:
auth       include      system-auth
auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth

so auth, account, password and session.

Could you put those bits from gdm into gnome-screensaver?
