Currently when I leave my desk I lock my screen and that turns off the monitor and then when I return and move the mouse I need to enter my password.
The problem is I never get to see my screensaver when I return.
How do I have the security of locking the screen but instead of turning off the monitor is should immediately go into screensaver mode. Then when I move the mouse it must exit screensaver and request password.
Similar to Windows XP

If you have your scrensaver settings configured to lock the machine when the screensaver activates, simply manually activating your screensaver (e.g., by a hot corner) should leave your desktop "locked" in that deactivating the screensaver should request a password.
