Problem

I want to have a few console windows running on logs. Unfortunately this means that anyone with access to the computer can press Ctrl+c and have shell access. So I want to lock the screen while still leave everything on the desktop visible. So has anyone heard of a transparent screensaver or do you…

Fix for: Transparent screensaver for linux?

Low Risk

This question is old, but in case people stumble across it, I use xtrlock for this purpose: Changes the cursor to a padlock but otherwise makes no visible changes. To unlock, hit Enter, type password, hit Enter (there's no prompt).
