Description:
Since the upgrade to Gnome 3.2, I can't lock the screen anymore using the gnome user menu or from the command line :
dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver --type=method_call --print-reply /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.screensaver.lock

returns

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files

Additional info:
* gnome fallback mode
* gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.0-2
This task depends upon

Try to install gnome-screensaver.

It was already installed, so I've reinstalled it...but I still can't lock the screen with the given command.
But If I use gnome-screensaver-command -l while gnome-screensaver is running in the background, it works...
