Let me be clear. This is after there has been no activity (keyboard or mouse) for either the host or the guest. (I'll use the host guest terminology) So e.g. I've been working in a guest and the focus is there. I leave my machine and go make a cup of tea and then get interrupted with a phone call. I return to my machine and the screen saver with lock has not kicked in (if I had it enabled in the guest then the guest would have that but I'm not worried about that.) I decide to check email on my host and I CTRL-ALT out to the host. Then the screen saver and lock kicks in. So as long as someone didn't ctrl-alt out they could see what's running on my desktop. (And it is also annoying to have the unexpected behavior of the screen saver kicking in at this time versus when I return from wherever.) I think what should happen is that the host also recognizes the lack of activity and turns on the screen saver. Can it do that?
