X11R4 does not allow a -1 in the even mask which is what most people used
with X11R3 to mean all events.  I'm not sure what the accepted fix for these
kinds of problems are, but all you need to do is change two lines in xlock.c
on the XGrabPointer calls changing the -1 to a 0.  Following is what I changed
it to:                              
                                    |
                                    v
status = XGrabPointer(dsp, w, True, 0,
                          GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, mycursor,
                          CurrentTime);

The 0 that is marked is a -1 in the original code.  There are two occurances
of this call, so you can just do a search for XGrabPointer and change the
lines.
