A (hopefully constructive) comment on xscreensaver.  You should have the
option of specifying the period of time after which another user may
simply hit any key and a "reboot" button would appear on the piece of
screen which asks for your password.  This would help in the following
situation:

I wish to use a workstation from time to time during the day, thus I leave
a workstation locked with xscreensaver when I am not there.  However, it
is my wish that if somebody else needs it and I have been gone for X minutes
that s/he should use it.  This allows the other user to then get ahold of
the workstation w/out having to reboot it (at least five minutes of waiting).
Anyway, if you think this makes sense, please forward it to the appropriate
authority/ies.
