Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have set gnome-screensaver to lock the screen if the screensaver is
activated. If I close the lid of my laptop, and then open it later, I
would expect it to be locked also.

Steps to replicate:

 1. In System->Preferences->Screensaver check the option to lock the screen
 2. Close the laptop lid.
 3. Open the lid.

What happens:

 The screen comes back immediately, with no lock in place.

What I would expect to happen:

 The screensaver should be active and the screen locked. The password
dialog should be presented upon opening the lid. Entering the password
should then restore the screen.
