F16 - sceensaver in gnome 3

found a way to set screensaver in gnome 3

$ sudo yum remove gnome-screensaver

the above command also remove gnome-screensaver-command, which is called when press Ctrl+Alt+L to lock the screen

$ sudo yum install xscreensaver

now select your favorite screen-saver, but what about locking system? For that do following:

$ su -
# cd /usr/local/bin
# vim gnome-screensaver-command

#!/bin/bash
xscreensaver-command -lock

save & quit

# chmod +x gnome-screensaver-command

voila, now you can lock your system by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L, ie same gnome keyboard shortcut
