These could all be managed now, through the use of a custom "lock"
program (specified via the $LOCKPRG environment variable). You could
differentiate between "idle" locks and explicit locks by having "idle"
give the lock program a special arg or something.

I don't believe we'll implement these in screen's built-in lock program
at this time.
