So I'm trying to see if I can lock the desktop.. ie.. have the Rpi run a webserver in the backround but be secure from tampering on the user interface side..

I havne't been able to find a way to basically set a screen saver password.. or once the pi goes to sleep I want a user and pw screen to pop up.. any way to require a "login" after it's been logged in originally.. ?
