The new version of xlock has a bug in that it won't lock a screen if
the display given isn't of the form unix:N.n or localhost:N.n, but if
you're display is <machinename>:N.n, it refuses, even though it should
go ahead.  A simple fix is to use gethostname, here's a diff for
xlock.c:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

> 	char        hostname[30];
593a595
> 	gethostname(hostname,30);
599c601,602
< 		    && strncmp(display, "localhost", n))
---
> 		&& strncmp(display, "localhost", n)
> 		&& strncmp(display, hostname, n))

Enjoy!
