I think that's what it's intended to do. If you need a
screensaver (including locking functionality) you may
be interested in xlockmore (comand: xlock) or xscreensaver.

Personally, I'm using "xlock -mode lament" here, and it
is associated to the big key on the top left, "Help", on
my Sun USB keyboard so it's easy to reach when leaving
the workstation. :-)

The program works independently from the window manager.
However, you can access the "slock" command to an icon,
menu entry or key combination, this is usually done by
the configuration utility of the window manager. In my
case (see above) it's the WindowMaker configuration tool
that assigns xlock to a specific key.
