If it's a laptop (and you love ugly hacks) take a look in /etc/acpi and
consider binding a shell script to an acpi event to unlock.
(I'm assuming you're using linux and your distro puts acpi events config
a/triggers/actions in the same place as mine (debian lenny).
something like
kill -1 `ps aux | grep enlightenment | awk {'pint $1'}`
you should probably refine it a bit to avoid sighupping half your system ;)
