Becuase those options interfere with programs like alarm clocks, they also rely on the machine being idle for the lock to appear. This program was designed to periodicly lock the screen and not interfer with any other programs.

Why would you want to lock your computer if it's NOT idle i.e. you are using it? I would like my computer to lock after a longish period of inactivity (say 2 hours), requiring password entry, while still having the screen-saver kick in after a much shorter period of inactivity (say 5 minutes), without the need to enter a password.
