gnome-screensaver doesn't autolock the screen in gnome 2.26 in testing

Under gnome 2.26 in testing, gnome screensaver no longer auto locks the screen after the specified time. The screensaver doesn't even come up either. I have to manually switch off the monitor.
Anyone else seeing this bug? How can I find out what's going wrong?

Same here, gnome-screensaver doesn't start.

X-screensaver works. Maybe it's because gnome-power-manager is still at 2.24?

Just start gnome-screensaver on a terminal (it starts up in daemon mode by default).
That's it.For a test you can set screensaver time to 1 min.
A random discovery I am happy for
