As Chris Webber mentioned on the mailing list (IIRC), you=E2=80=99ll also h=
ave
to enable xscreensaver in the OS config:

  (use-modules (gnu services xorg))

  (operating-system
    ;; =E2=80=A6
    (services (cons (screen-locker-service "xscreensaver")
                    %desktop-services)))

Could you try and report back?

I guess we=E2=80=99ll enable it by default in %desktop-services.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
