Have you ticked the little box which says "Password protected" in the
Windows Screensaver dialogue? I have this option in Win 2000, so XP
should have it to, I assume this makes you enter your Windows
password and works with any screensaver? Not that I have ever used
this feature :) --

Yep.  In WinXP, it is "On Resume, display welcome screen".

Give it a try and see what you get..

It a appears you get the Login dialogue box with just the desktop wallpaper
in the background, which should be fine for security purposes :)
