Well, In my case .xsession-errors says:
"xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0" I think I'm getting this because I'm not running gnome-session (too buggy still for me), just the gnome panel. Since the screen saver is actually run by gnome-session the panel then complains. However, even if I run the control center and enable the screen server it won't start. Why on earth do we need gnome-session running to automatically start the screen server? Go fig! If I run gnome-seesion, locking the screen works well. -- Pedro I.

Does gnome write errors somewhere?
