I'm running xscreensaver as part of Gnome, and would like to be able to control it in a way I can't figure out. Most panel icons can right-click to a "properties" window that gives, among other things, the command that will be executed by clicking on that icon. The "lock" icon does not have this; the properties window just controls the aspects of the display, the timing of the blanking, etc. I'd like to change the action of this icon so that, before locking the screen, it executes (for example) "ssh-add -D" to clear all of my ssh-agent's identities. Similarly, I'd like to know the command for locking so that I can put it elsewhere; for example, into an rc.suspend file, so that if I close my laptop's cover it will automatically lock the screen. This at least I would have expected to find in the man page, but perhaps I missed it. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
