With :10.0 I suspect you used ssh -X to forward your X server
connection. Is that right?

Starting from some version of ssh, connections forwarded like that are
"untrusted" and some operations are not allowed on them. (I'm not really
sure wich ones, but I remember that it prevented me from running gvim
because of that).

But those same versions now have an extra option -Y also, to mark the
connection (or, as I understand it, the clients at the other end of the
tunnel) as trustworthy. So if you use -Y instead, what you tried
(whatever it was) might work better. I can surely imagine that allowing
a screen locker access to your display requires more trust than just any
random client.
