Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver set to lock on inactivity
if left for some time (>10 minutes?), move mouse or press keys: no login box

go to a tty (e.g. Alt-Ctrl f2), as root kill the current screensaver
return to X (Alt-Ctrl f7), move mouse or press keys: login box presented
provide password, press OK
