I think more information would be helpful. Sounds like the application is an X app. If so does the display need to be on the monitor? When you say lock and unlick the screen are you referring to accepting input or blocking (hiding) what the application would normally show on the screen. I am sure that there are several ways to have an application run and display on the monitor. One way is to launch it via inittab as a specific user and let it restart. We do this with no window manager on our displays. An advantage to this method is that you can set the app to respawn so if it dies for what ever reason it will be restarted.
