I needed the workaround because I haven't upgraded to GNOME3 yet; I need
to wait until I have time to figure out the various configuration
changes I'll need to make.

Also, having gnome-power-manager depend on newer gnome-screensaver
solves half the problem, but that doesn't prevent someone from upgrading
gnome-screensaver and not upgrading gnome-power-manager, which would
introduce this bug.  Hence my suggestion of having gnome-screensaver add
a Breaks on older gnome-power-manager.
