There's a program called xautolock that starts any program after a given
amount of idle time, or when the mouse is moved over a certain corner of
the screen. It is available at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/ or any of its
mirrors.

Also, there is another one out there called xlockmore, but I don't have
any experience with that one.
