I set screensaver to blank screen. I click Desktop->Lock Screen, the display locks ok. I disable screensaver. I click Desktop->Lock Screen, nothing happens. I understand that screen-saving and locking are handled by the same program, but they really are different things. I may not want to have a screensaver, this should not prevent me from locking the display.
