very simple, I have the code ready for kwin master (don't know whether I have pushed it). It adjusts startkde to trigger 
that KWin starts locked. And it's just an variable which needs to be passed to startkde script. Unfortunately it disables the 
login screen. That's something I want to look into for desktop, too as I think it's bad to be able to unlock KWin before 
anything is actually started.

Just use it as a blank screensaver. It should trigger this screensaver (calling the dbus method lock() on 
org.freedesktop.screensaver starts the lock), but I have not tested this yet (who needs screensavers?).
