from the man
 lock (class Boolean)
   Enable locking: before the screensaver will turn off, it will require you to 
type
   the  password of the logged-in user (really, the person who ran 
xscreensaver), or
   the root password.  (Note: this doesn't work if the screensaver  is  
launched  by
   xdm(1)  because it can't know the user-id of the logged-in user.  See the 
``Using
   XDM(1)'' section, below.


maybe this is a bug. but this is perfectly working on solaris where tey also use
screesaver in conjunction with gdm !

any idea ?
