Oh, that's an interesting alternative to what I've been trying to do,
thanks.  I guess I never noticed that that's there.  Since I'm using

xautolock is an old X program that runs in the background; after a
customizable period of inactivity, it executes a command.  I was using
it run my "switch to VT7/gdm" script.  It may not be necessary if I
can use your suggestion.

Thanks!
