i looked into xscreensaver and xlock, but couldnt figure out a way for them not to either run a screensaver or turn the screen blank.

I don't remember which screensavers are included in the MyDSL extension for xscreensaver, but I seem to recall one of them being a static desktop (I do recall versions that warp the desktop, etc.). You might want to download it and go through the choices yourself and see if there's one you can live with. The thing about xscreensaver is that it is NOT a lock -- ctrl-alt-backspace kills X and it doesn't require a password to startx again.

So after searching off and on here and there I came across an X locker by the name of xtrlock. It does exactly what I am looking for in this post though it does not monitor the keyboard/mouse, to do that xautolock was also included. So I added these 2 packages and played around a little bit until I got it to work the way I wanted it to.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions
I hope someone will find this post useful  :)
