Yes, you need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xlogin (or change the
resources so something other than Xlogin is run), and just
before the part where pandora is started, start your favorite
screensaver, with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to /dev/null,
like:
(/usr/bin/X11/xlock ... < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &)
Changes to that file aren't preserved on new software upgrades/installs,
as I recall, so make a copy of the changes somewhere.
