'gnome-screensaver' was not launched after login caused the problem. It seems gnome lock screen button applet need gnome-screensaver to be lauched in advance. After recent update gnome-screensaver did not start automatically after login. I seems individual screen saver environment was slightly changed after recent update. So to fix my problem is just lauching 'gnome-screensaver' manually after login or using 'gnome-session'. With regard to xscreensaver, just I tried it because gnome lock screen button had not worked correctly. Both packages were installed correctly. Thank you for your kind advice. // M. Iizuka
