It works for me every time when I leave the computer for a short time. sorry for the late reply but the flu kept me in bed the last days. I have a little appliction "Sleeplock" which is in my loginitems. Whenever I close the lid or put the book manually into sleep it forces the screen saver to come up when you wake it up. Have been using this for ages (since 10.1 or maybe even 10.0). Works great
