You misunderstood my purpose I think. vlock -a when typed on a virtual console (text-mode) will lock the *entire* console. No one will be able to switch back to your X display to start any other terminals without typing in the root password. It's much better in this regard than an Xscreensaver lock. Any user who knows how can break that and terminate your X session. (hint: lock the screen in KDE/GNOME as *any* user and then type Ctrl-Alt-Backspace together) However, vlock will definitely not work in an xterm (gnome-terminal, konsole etc) on an X desktop.
