Reread the thread on this. I posted at the getgo: repeat until the lockScreen is "false" unlock screen end repeat This has been echoed by others, correctly. You cannot guarantee that your screen will be unlocked with that one-liner. Unless you get back to idle, multiple locks are queued, and the screen will remain locked until they are all purged. The merits of this were discussed last week. Different users lock their screens for different reasons, and the "pending" locks are either a bonus or a chore. But you have to know they work this way.

I myself have not encountered a situation where I need multiple handlers that lock the screen. Everything I do is database oriented anyway, so there is inevitably lots of idle times. If I ever do need this your idea seems the most reasonable way to go.
