Since I have 4 LCDs, I have 3840x2400. I find it's enough pixels and I don't
need virtual desktops on top of that anymore :)
But yeah, I'll be missing my pagers since I don't want shelves in 3 out of
my 4 screens which will be full with other stuff. Hopefully there is a way
to do this with E17 (pagers for all screens located in one screen).

Actually, I didn't really try to change the E17 default screensaver because
the only way I know to start it is 2 clicks through a menu. I haven't found
a 'lock now' widget I can have in my shelf though.

I don't need delays, xscreensaver already runs in the background. I'm only
using a 'lock now' command via a button. Sounds like execwatch will do what
I need then.
So I was able change the default enlightenment xscreensaver to run
xscreensaver-command -lock for me, but
1) I'm not sure how to make an execwatch button
2) or to get a shelf widget that tells E17 to lock in one click
I'm close, but I could still use your help :)

That works indeed, thank you, so I can lock with a hotkey, just not an icon
yet.
Thanks,
