Okay, but hopefully this is a goal since it would solve all the problems.

In the meantime, what about running a transparent version of the new
locker with a non-locked screensaver underneath it?  I know this is a
bit hackish, but I really thing we would see a serious revolty if
screensaver support was removed.  People really like their
screensavers.
