Will this work for a forwarded X-session? That's the only graphical work I usually do with the machine; it's in a remote room of the building so it's rare that I am logged in locally in graphical mode (and call me paranoid, but I don't like to leave it logged in, even locked, at the local console).

If you know you'll be logged into the console with a window manager running, what about throwing up a dialog box and getting the input from there? I seem to recall the gnome and kde both have stand alone dialog boxes for scripts to obtain input.
