and, indeed, one in Python here: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/see_if_my_workstation_is_locked.html This, in fact, the OP already knows because he's come to the list at my suggestion after a private email conversation. I wasn't entirely clear why that solution didn't suit his needs to I hope someone here can serve him better. (Your point about not being able to trap Ctrl-Alt-Del might help clear things up a little.)
