If you're asking for Sun's X team to update Xscreensaver, then
I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen right now. I spent
some time a while ago working on it, and the complete rewrite
of the PAM code in xscreensaver 5.02 is going to require several
weeks of work to redesign/rewrite our PAM modifications and GTK
lock dialog (the pain of being forked so far from upstream), and
we've got a full list of higher priority things to get done for
the 2008.11 release before anyone here is likely to have a few
spare weeks to do that.
Of course, that shouldn't stop any distro who wants a newer one
from doing the work themselves - especially if they don't care
about Sun Ray or accessibility support, and can just use the
upstream lock dialog & PAM code.
