And I can confirm it works, or at least does not warn.

Yeah, it's an emerging idea, and probably very niche, ie. restricted to
non-GNOME/KDE/etc sessions... But I still think it's kind of cool.

Oh, and xss-lock is awesome, thanks. Feels like a bit of too many moving
parts and I'm somewhat worried about it not working sometimes, but it's
much snappier than xscreensaver and "feels" a little more secure because
the way the components are setup.

And now that I think of it, I wonder if those processes couldn't be
better sandboxed... Ideas?

"propaganda" got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it, so
what I did was to try and find some other words so we found the words
"public relations".      - Edward Bernays
