This post is horribly wrong.

1) The documentation cited is from Xorg 6.8, which is terribly old.
2) The options cited do not exist anymore.
3) With the removal of the 'misc' extension, the API to disable these
features does not exist anymore. Even when the options still existed,
the documentation was updated accordingly, see [1].

So, you are wrong, the screen lockers have no way to fight this.
Disabling these keys in keymaps is not an interim solution, but the
final one.
