or am i missing something?

Right now I have it set to enable screen lock with screensaver when I use the top left hot corner - I have it set thru System Pref.

I remember in 10.2 you could just use a thingie in your menubar - is there a hack that let's you do it that way without setting the main system pref to enable everytime the computer wakes up from sleep?

The lock icon was actually for your keychain, although it does have the option to Lock the Screen - to enable it, you do it using Keychain Access (in the /Applications/Utilities folder), under the View menu>Show Status in Menubar.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was missing! Glad it's still in 10.3

Thanks again!

By the way, is there any other way to quickly lock the screen? A keyboard shortcut perhaps? A hack? I don't want the expose way though (through the hot corner...)

Maybe you can add a custom hotkey with the new Panther feature to that menu extra from the Keychain.
