Not really!  I generally just use xlock when I want to lock my screen.

Oh, IG I'll stick to XSS then. Do you run them directly from
/usr/lib/xscreensaver? (or libexec)

To lock a system running X11, there's also vlock -n -a (At least in the
standalone utility I have in this distro, I think some other package now
also provides a vlock with less features? Or am I misremembering?)

But with vlock you don't get the fun and interesting part of watching
screensavers.

vlock on my system only locks the terminal.  Useful for a text based
terminal, not for X11.

There is the suckless version, slock, which only blanks the screen, very
mininal.  I prefer the pretty pictures.

"vlock -a" locks the "entire console display", -n creates a different
virtual console for vlock to be in while doing this from X11. I think -n
wasn't always necessary in the past, but at least the manual page
suggests it is needed now. (Either I'm misremembering or something
inside earlier versions used to do the -n part automatically?)

The -n option doesn't work on my Debian 12 install, says the plugin
'new' is not present.

Its built into the menu for FVWM.  My FVWM config, which is based on an
old template that came with FVWM or FVWM95 has a menu for ScreenSavers
which lists the xlock ones and also for XScreenSaver to start it, or
start the demo.  Thats perhaps why I use them, because in the very early
days when I started using Linux, I found them in the menu entry here.

Oh, interesting. XFCE doesn't have those, but the binaries are stored in
/usr/lib(exec)/xscreensaver so its easy to run from there.

FVWM has this thing called "pipe menus", where you can construct a menu
dynamically from the output of a program.  I'm sure other window
managers have this, but this means you can call xlock to list all the
screensaver types, then construct a menu which launches the locker from
that.

Neat! I know you can implement that relatively easily with something
like dmenu.

dmenu is prety good in that respect.  I did use it for another window
manager where the piperead dynamic menus were not available, to solve
the same problem.  The advantage though of FVWM is that the menu is
equal to other menus, operate the same, same fonts, appearance, etc,
whereas with dmenu, its a different look, feel and operation.

That said, dmenu is part of my standard install.

Right, the suckless programs do have some nice scriptability. I
personally have a keybinding to surf for an online dictionary thing.

I would just leave it on “random” so you never knew which display it would 
run on the next activation. Some of them are just mind-blowing.

I have mine set to "Star Wars", with text input from a script I wrote
to display fortunes:

$ cat myfortune.sh 
#!/bin/bash
fortune -c | grep -v "^\%"
echo +++

# - -%<- -

 ...and turned down the scroll speed a bit.
