Hi,

for my main Linux I use the power manger to blank the display after 9
minutes, put it to sleep after 10 minutes and turn it off after 50
minutes, but sometimes I like to see funny screensavers.

Indeed, screen locking doesn't make much sense. However, I added a menu
entry named "Lock screen" to lock the screen on demand. To shut down or
restart my computer root privileges are required. This also doesn't make
much sense. It makes a little bit sense, to protect the 24/7 running
install against visitors with a Windows or Smartphone user approach, who
can be left alone or not at all alone at the computer.

Regards,
Ralf
