I also have this (very annoying) problem.  Sometimes, though, if I
send a sighup I get returned to entrance and lose everything.
Instead, I have been using a tip someone from the irc channel gave me
a while back:

Get enlightenment's pid and run:
gdb -p "e17sPID"   #Where e17sPID is.... e17s pid
then use the command: call e_desklock_hide()
Finally, either use continue (to let the process continue), or quit,
to get out of gdb (and let the process continue)
