Need to lock / unlock the desktop programatically or with a script

[kirilstankov]

Hi all,

I need to lock the desktop programatically, e.g. not with the screen saver. Is it possible?
I looked into GDM commands via FIFO, but there is nothing like this there...

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Kiril.
