A suggestion for xscreensaver, have it check rc.conf to see if a
workstation is private and if so not put up the "If you need this
workstation...." button.
Um, no, I don't think so.
There are already enough Athena-specific hacks in the code. I don't
want to add another one, and a gross one to boot :-). I think the
people who have private workstations can put the minimal effort into
installing an X resource to disable the button; in any case, I don't
see that there's much reason to worry, since if the workstation is
private, it's unlikely that people will click on the button anyway
:-).
