I'd like to change this behaviour, I've checked the screensaver preferences and the only option that mentions locking the screen ("Lock screen after") is unset. I think it makes more sense to lock the screen on lid close dependant on the setting of "Lock screen after" option in screensaver preferences This is on a recently updated hoary, xscreensaver version 4.16-1ubuntu3.
