[ltp] gnome-screensaver and locking using fn-f2

[Grant Williamson]

That does not seem to work either, xscreensaver would, even if I set 
XAUTH & DISPLAY.

Fails with either
gnome-screensaver-Message: Screensaver is not running! (launch it as root)
or
gnome-screensaver-Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Failed 
to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session (via su - user)
