Could we just hack xscreensaver to add a button for this? It looks
like Gnome implements it by just calling gdmflexiserver.
The only complication I can imagine is that you'd want to detect which
desktop manager was being used and adjust the behavior of the
screensaver accordingly (call a different program or don't show the
button at all)
Oh, also, it might get confusing for newbies if several people do this
in a row (eg: user A starts, wanders off; user B starts a new session,
wanders off, user C starts a new session, uses it, and exits. A comes
back and can't figure out where his screen went..)
