attach keeps a list of all the users who have attached a locker. Have
xlogin run detach -a on behalf of the user, and have this only detach
the locker if no other users are using it (this may be the current
behavior already). Add a config option to attach.conf which allows
any user (not just named user) to use the -O option, and set this
option on public workstations, so users can force a detach of a locker
if need be.
