Well, actually, my screen doesn't lock. All the apps that were already open remain functional, and the window manager doesn't die. It's just that if I start a new app/window, I get the X_transConnect can't connect. The reason for that being that /tmp/.X11-unix/X0= socket is gone. No errors in my logs, nothing reported to the console until another xapp tries to come up.
