I cannot reproduce this. I just started an xterm and ran:

$ pkill xidle   # because I use this with the -ne corner already
$ xidle -program '/usr/bin/xlock -mode ant' -timeout 5

Then I sat there for a couple of seconds not doing anything, and
xlock (from the xlockmore-gl package in oldold…oldstable) spawned.
Exiting that I ^C’d xidle.

I run X.org with evilwm, although I do use the “exec startx” method
to run X, not a login manager, and that with xserver-xorg-legacy.
Maybe that makes a difference?

I’ll run and look at strace later but…

bye,
