Okay, I guess that makes sense, but as Matt replied, I don't see how 
this would ever happen in practice, given the ease of locking things 
when stepping away.  But I guess Cristóbal works in a university where 
he might be using a shared terminal of sorts?  Don't these terminals run 
"xlock" or similar?  Personally I never have a reason to use any 
computer but my own.
