Caveat, I don't know if all the programs mentioned are in SL. I know about them from Debian. You might look into xautolock. Having it call "xlock -username USER" with an explicit user name might be all you need. Maybe you can couple it with a zenity script to prompt for the username. Leaving that box behind, what about installing the BlueProximity gnome-panel applet and introduce it to the BlueTooth devices (ie, ever ubiquitous cell phones) that are carried by the authorized users. I use this to lock my workstation and it winks to life when I approach and locks down as soon as I walk away. Almost never a password needed although once in a while when I approach fast enough and wiggle the mouse the normal screen saver lock will wake first and prompt me for my password. -Brett.
