I think it was, because the idea is that the locker, unlike today
savers, does not start automatically. The screen is just turned off to

That might however be shortsighted, since it *could* be required to
cover "stupid" users who just walk away and forget to lock their screen
while they actually should.

I think Martin mainly thought about OpenGL deps and their current

screensavers + opengl + msaa + hacks which don't call glClear() -
sad story.
