I'm using awesome window manager and trying to configure xlock so my

system gets locked after "x" seconds if I don't touch the keyboard or

mouse. But nothing seems to be happening after "x" seconds.


I tried to put the following in my .Xdefaults


XIdle.timeout: 5

XLock.mode: random

XLock.mousemotion: on

XLock.nice: 19

XLock.program: /usr/games/fortune -a

XLock.random.modelist: maze bat biof pyro drift eyes lisa marquee

matrix molecule nose pacman petri space swarm tetris worm


I then commented the above from .Xdefaults and added the following

line at the end of .xinitrc file


xidle -delay 3 -sw -program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock -mode bat" -timeout 5


Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
