xflock on top?

[Stephane Paltani]

Hehe, this is my favourite one:

use "xautolock"; it does the timer thing you want, and call
any locker you want. I have the following in my xinitrc:

xautolock -time 10 -locker "xlock -mode blank -delay 1000000" &

Note that the "-delay" is here to prevent your CPU to busywait
at 100% CPU for nothing.

You can find xautolock here for instance:
