no screensaver that i know of.

i don't use locking, but when returning from sleep the screen is locked.
so far, most of the times the pw-field is there, but not usable.
i also think that there should be icons in the top right corner and a clock maybe? the space is empty.
just now i had a case of pw-field missing altogether. found this bug. did not find any newer bug, so i post here.

initially recovered with workaround "unity --replace" which made the PW-field show up. i could unlock the desktop, seemed fine.

now desktop totally screwed up: alt-tab unresponsive, launcher missing, top-bar missing, whole thing looks funny. mouse works, can use scroll-wheel and mark text in a left-over, fullscreen terminal, but not type..
put computer back to sleep, woke up again, now got a gray box that says "Chris" (my username) "Password", a field and button s switch user and unlock. never saw that before. might be because i tried to use described locking procedure (ctrl-alt-l) which was suggesting to fix some things, which did not seem to work.
typed PW, screen went away. back to screwed up desktop.
keyboard seemed useless. noticed that ctrl-n opens file-browser. works repeatedly. with those windows open, i can use alt-tab to switch between these new windows. browser, netbeans, thunderbird (should all be still living in the background) are not presented.
task-switcher looks funny, too. just a row of images and a box around the middle one.
used file-browser to start a video. worked. can now use alt-tab to switch between file-browser and videoplayer.

i am a noob. if you need something, tell me.
