Anarky, I'd suggest just using xscreensaver... run it in the background when you start up blackbox (in your .xinitrc, .xsession, or however your distro does it) and then it can be configured by running:
xscreensaver-command -prefs This lets you pick blanking and locking times (as well as other config options). For locking manually I have a shortcut setup with bbkeys that runs: xscreensaver-command -lock There's all sorts of fun you can do with xscreensaver when you get right down to it (My favorite is "xscreensaver-command -watch" which outputs all sorts of state information about xscreensaver, which in turn can be wrapped in a perl script, or what not, to trigger scripts on different xscreensaver events). Of course, remember that blackbox it's self has nothing to do with the blanking of your screen, that's all taken care of by an external process of some sort. Thanks, Tim.
