There's a similar discussion going on at Monash.  Unfortunately the same
``solution'' came up here.  The problem with Christopher's method is
that the person who ran the non-standard lockscreen doesn't lose
by this (any more than a ``log out after 15 mins'' approach), but the
people who are remotely logged in do lose.  You are punishing the
remote users, just because of one idiot locking the screen the
``wrong'' way.
