Bug Description
When I press the sleep button, I can see the screen go blank, then I see a screensaver hack starting for a second, then it goes blank again before the laptop goes into sleep.
When I wake up the laptop again, the screensaver hack comes on for a second, before the screen goes blank to show the password dialog.
It would be better if g-p-m told the screensaver to lock without starting any hack, like if using the --throttle option.
This is not only esthetics, but I have some GL hacks that doesn't like to be put to sleep on my hardware, and a throttle would work around that.

g-p-m "doing gnome-screensaver lock".
A tempting fix would be to call gpm_screensaver _enable_ throttle (TRUE) before gpm_screensaver _lock, and similarly dethrottle after poke at wake up. This would not save any throttle state that the user himself had set, but this is not taken care of when for instance closing/opening the lid either.
