I have used chvt under a script within X (for a different reason, to do happy
suspends) and it works fairly nicely.
As for timed launch, I think xscreensaver supports doing the timeout for just
about any "normal" app, so once you have it tuned to do it the way you like,
you could set it going under xscreensaver.
Seems to me I'd only use it by deliberate launch though.
