I use GNOME 3 fallback mode so for now I just guess what is happening, however:

> 5. On the right of the screen where you set your 
> IM status, select "Lock Screen"
This "Lock Screen" is in my recognition for gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver is not related to this. And as far as I know currently there is no way to change the "default lock mechanism" on GNOME 3 from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver.

The easiest way is to remove gnome-screensaver completely.

But I guess even after this selecting "Lock Screen" won't work on GNOME 3.

Once closing as NOTABUG.
