Ok, so there's not alot to this, but I figured I'd give it a go:
When I was a windows user, I'd always have to create an icon to start my screensaver or lock my desktop. You can of course configure your mac to start the screensaver using hotcorners. I've done that, and that's great, but I prefer the keyboard sometimes.
So I have Quicksilver installed, and bound the key sequence of my choice (in this case ctrl+shift+apple+L) to the following program:
/System/Library/Frameworks/\
ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/\
ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine
That will cause the screensaver to run, which I have configured to require a password. This isn't anything revolutionary, but I thought it might help someone else to know where that program is. Hope it was useful.
Update: Don't know why the long pathname would not display correctly; so I've broken the path to ScreenSaverEngine across 3 lines. I added the backslashes so you can cut and paste from this entry to a terminal window. If you combine the lines into one, be sure to remove the backslashes.
