What about configuring xscreensaver to logout the user instead of running a
graphics application?
One could put directives in $HOME/.xscreensaverrc like the following:
# don't lock the screen
lock: false
# No startup splash screen
splash: false
# Be quiet
verbose: false
# Activate after 5 minutes
timeout: 5
# Run just one graphics-hack
cycle: 0
# Don't check /proc/interrupts for user activity
procInterrupts: false
# Run this script as a graphics-hack
programs: killall.sh
where killall.sh is a shell script that kills the user's login shell and maybe
sends a notification email to the system administrator.
I put "procInterrupts false" because this would make xscreensaver check for
interrupt activity on the server, where it's running, instead of the
workstation, unless it's run locally on the workstation.
I haven't tested it yet, if someone does so before I will, please comment
about it.
