Previously I met one of the maintainer of gdm and we had some discussion about this, too. They also use xscreensaver for this purpose in Oracle and there doesn't seem to be a standard way to do this. So my suggestion is making the lock command configurable through config file and fallback to xscreensaver if it's not set. This is not a perfect solution but at least it should work most of the time. For distros which provides alternative locking mechanisms, they can set this lock command to their own specialized script. Then when locking is needed, lxsession calls their script, and their script determines which locking program to use on their own with their distro-specific way, such as update-alternatives used by Debian. Any comments? If there is no objection, I'm willing to do some hacks to add this, and make a release after it gets tested.
