Right now, I'm working around the problem with my post-idle alarm that does
the lock workstation.

Here are the two commands that I'm using:
Idle (30 mins)
Window.PostMessage(0x112,0xF170,2,0xFFFF)
Post-idle
Message 1 Lock Workstation
Shutdown LockWorkStation noconfirm

When the post-idle alarm fires when I move the mouse I hear the sound for
the workstation locking. So far so good. If it's been over an hour though,
once I unlock the workstation it locks again. I think the idle is restarted
by powerpro when it runs it's window.postmessage() command. Then, a second
post-idle alarms queue up on themselves. If there's a way to make sure only
one post-idle alarm fires once idle has triggered, that would probably be a
good thing. It might be part of the fix you've already implemented, just
wanted to put it out there :)
