Only if ConsoleKit is keeping per user-state.   If I login at the 
console as any other user I get the Lock Screen menu item.


I just tried moving aside my home directorory, deleting my userid, 
removing everything in /tmp and /var/tmp, rebooting
creating a new userid with the same name (but different user and group 
numbers),  and it still has no Lock Screen!!!

Something is keeping information about userid "ellson" outside of 
/home/ellson,   but what?
