Those only work with good screensavers. Fluff/bling screensavers like the gnome and kde ones do not abide to it. And they're not safe to use for screen locking either (race conditions). If you want something that *works*, especially for screen locking, switch to xscreensaver in blank mode. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
