Am I missing something?

Screen share problem

Yes. Except bluetooth and internet sharing. Right after checked the box for "Screen Sharing" I went over to the computer setting and selected that "Anyone can request permission to control screen"
I mean the feature is working fine, but in order to screen share I have to first manually "wake up" the Mac Mini and then it shows up on my 27" iMac's finder tab. Before Mavericks I just to just open finder and my Mac Mini will show up right under my attached HDD's and Time Machine.

I just don't understand what the problem could be, it was working fine with ML but Mavericks just messed it all up.
On the iMac: Open finder - cmd+k - enter afp:// ip address of mini, hit connect = if the pop-up asks for mini password type it in - hit enter and wait to connect ..
It says "There was a problem connecting to 192.168.X.XXX contact system administrator"

Is the iMac and mini on the same network?

I use Remote Management only and check screen share...works!
If you can't get AFP to connect, it could be a sign of something more general in the network settings than just screen sharing.
On both machines, try toggling the file and screen sharing settings off then back on again as that can reset the services.
