This means that the application is trying to use an FDO DBus API to do<br>
the actual locking. And indeed, its description says:<br>
<br>
It relies on lightdm for locking and unlocking your session via<br>
ConsoleKit/UPower or logind/systemd.<br>

So since you're using lightdm already what you need to figure out is<br>
what package exactly is supposed to be providing<br>
org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver on your system. I hope your distro people<br>
can help figuring that out, the issue seems to be absolutely unrelated<br>
to XMonad.<br>
