I grabbed this program and tried it out.  It had basically the same
effect as dimming the monitor all the way by hand after logging out.
Eventually, I'll still get my login box burnt in.

This summer I'll probably finish the logout hook I'm working on to
fill video memory with black.  I was hoping that's what this program
did.
