• Bug#105995: locking when x-terminal is in "secure keyboard" mode

    For what it's worth, I've decided to try the other non-solution:
    as of xscreensaver 4.18, if it can't grab both the keyboard and
    mouse, it does not blank the screen. This means that if you are
    running rdesktop or some long-keyboard-grabbing program, xscreensaver
    will never lock your screen until that grab is released.

    This is still bad, obviously, but perhaps it will confuse people less,
    and -- perhaps -- failing to lock at all is less bad than accidentally
    typing passwords at the wrong window.
