Yes, I realise that you can set it to lock after a certain duration,
however this means that for example the screensaver will start and then
after 5 seconds it will lock and the screen will go black, then if you
try and wake the machine it will ask you for your password, however if
you do it before the 5 second delay, it will simply resume without the
password prompt.

So what I would like as the new feature would be for it to allow you to
set it so that if you wake it from the actual screensaver, it asks you
for the password, instead of you having a delay before the screen goes
black.

If the feature which I am describing is how it should already work then
I must have found a bug because that is not how it works for me.

Title:
  Lock screen on wakeup from screensaver - feature request

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It would be really good if there could be a way of setting it so that
  during the time that the screensaver is on, if there is any
  interaction which wakesup the machine happens, for it to automatically
  ask for the password like it can do after a set time if set. So that
  if the screensaver turns on, and say somebody wiggles the mouse to
  wake it up, it requests for the password before it allows them to log
  in.
