There is a work around: disable password protection of the screensaver and lock the desktop manually using <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> and "Lock workstation". You also can do that when You are connected to Your server via VNC. Then You have to use the menu item "send ctrl+alt+del" from the system menu. I tried this. Works fine.
