I have Hot Corners set up so that the bottom right corner activates the screen saver. In combination with requiring password to resume from screen saver, this is my security. I use my MacBook for work with a XP running in VM through Fusion, so I need to be able to secure the notebook if I should walk away from my desk.
Flicking my mouse down to the bottom right is SO easy, and it usually works GREAT.
However, occasionally when I get to work and wake up the unit, log in and get my stuff going, the screen saver won't start. I have another Hot Corner set up to sleep the screen, which works. I can use it, but it's not secure, so I need to be able to use the screen saver.
Seems to me that maybe some process is not responding WRT the screen saver. I'm Linux savvy, and have a shortcut to Terminal, so restarting services isn't a problem, but which one? (if any) Is there anything else to check?
(long time Windows user, supported Linux and VMware for Dell, recent Mac switcher. Loving my MacBook so far!)
