What's the trick to getting gnome-screensaver to run under LXDE?
*I ran gnome-screensaver-preferences and defined the idle time to active.
*I added it to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
*I see it running via a ps aux | grep screen
EDIT: if I start it manually I get:
$ gnome-screensaver
** (gnome-screensaver:4839): WARNING **: Failed to get session presence proxy: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name
Googling on this didn't bring up anything useful. Looks like something is missing a "org.gnome.SessionManager" tag or..?
I did find this thread but I already have gnome-session installed.

Made some progress... if I load gnome-session from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart I am able to use gnome-screensaver. A side effect of running gnome-session however is that the damn default gnome menus appear on top of my lxde ones upon loading gnome-session! I deleted one and set the other to auto hide which is kind of lame. Suggestions are welcomed!
EDIT: this method causes another bad side effect: a big fat error message , "Could not acquire name on session bus." Upon clicking "Close" (the only option), the CPU usage spikes until dropping out of X.

Is there a reason you want gnome-screensaver specifically? There are other apps for screensavers and/or screen locking.

Xscreensaver is problematic with the applications I'm running. Gnome-screensaver is a peach by comparison.
I think I got it!
1) Remove @gnome-session from /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
2) Add a link in ~/.config/autostart to /usr/share/xsessions/openbox-gnome.desktop
Everything seems to be working. Now the only challenge I'm seeing is how to disable the auto startup of all this gnome crap that apperantly gets called somehow with the openbox-gnome-session:
$ ps aux | grep gnome-

Thoughts?
