I have this problem now with 14.10

previously I had 14.04 installed and the screensaver was very problematic - it would frequently not turn off the screen by itself, but Ctrl-Shift-L always worked.

Now with 14.10 screensave never turns on and Ctrl-Shift-L never works.

Typing gnome-screensaver-command -l into a terminal does lock the screen as expected.

gnome-screensaver-command -q reports the screen saver is inactive

Under settings I have

 Dim screen when inactive ON
 Blank screen 5 minutes
 Turns off wireless devices ON (although I'm sure I've turned that off several times before)

Hmmm the Turns off wireless devices appears to turn them off immediately - not when the screen blanks? So if I switch that OFF, then it just immediately disconnects my wireless - is that intended? Probably not related.
