Forget my previous comment.
The signal handler was actually called all the time.
But "setImmediateLock(true);" followed by "desktopResized();" DOES NOT have any 
(visual) effect.
I have yet to find out what else to call to make that dialog appear. Any idea 
maybe?

Calling exit(1) does work, but that's not much different to killing the greeter 
I suppose... ;-)
