    Well, yes, by default.

    It's possible to integrate xscreensaver, or really almost any
    screen saver, with CDE. Directions are here (search for "CDE"):

             http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man1.html

    Once you have a screensaver you control, you at least have the
    ability to do what you want with it. For example, you could
    "xscreensaver-command" to monitor events. If you notice that
    the screen is locked during business hours, just send a command
    to unlock it again. There's a little Perl fragment here

             http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man3.html

    that you could adapt to your purposes. You could start your
    own little Perl script from the CDE sessionetc file, and all
    this would happened automatically when you log in.
