The primary goal of xlock is to easily lock out other users from your 
application. 

xlock doesn't only do this, but is locks up the whole console preventing other users
to use the X-Server and to log in.

So, what I'd like to see would be a xlock, that iconifies all Windows to one icon
that can only be opened by password and that leaves one xterm on the screen with
a login prompt. (e.g. getty). 

It then could do some funny things on the screen. 
It should also set aside the window manager ( in case one has a "new shell" menu in it).
