I use xscreensaver, it's modular with many,many graphic modules already
done for it http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ . xscreensaver does
locking also.

Use KDE or gnome. For instance gnome comes with a graphical control
panel tool that modifies the settings of xscreensaver (time, graphic
module, locking, etc.) and many other aspects of your desktop, KDE
propably does too.
