If that's ALL you want lockscreen for, a better arrangement is to add
a line like:
	screenblank -d 1800;	echo -n ' screenblank'
to /etc/rc.local in the "local daemons" section (for pre-4.1 OS, redirect
output of the command line to /dev/console.)  This will start a
process that turns off the screen beam after 30min. of no kbd or mouse
button activity.  If you want actual security between sessions, log
out.  Screenblank will save your hardware.
