+Xautolock monitors console activity under the X window system, and
+fires up a program of your choice if nothing happens during a
+user configurable period of time. You can use this to automatically
+start up a screen locker in case you tend to forget to do so manually
+before having a coffee break.
+
+Xautolock will typically be used to lock the screen but it really
+doesn't care what program you make it start. The only real assumption
+made by xautolock is that a new countdown starts as soon as the
+locker exits. 
+
+I use xautolock with xlockmore in this way:
+
+    xautolock -time 10 -locker xlock
+
+Note: this script calls /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf, which requires that directory
+      to be in your $PATH.  Therefore, you will almost certainly need to
+      do "su -" instead of just "su" to build this.
+
+If you have any questions or comments about this script you are free to
+contact me via e-mail: jick.nan AT gmail.com    Enjoy!
