(Get the code!)
I've got it to work in gdm and the console, but not gksudo. In fact, doing an admin task that uses gksudo has the annoying feature of quietly timing out when the reader software fails to load, requiring a second request to get the password dialog. Also, the document on thinkwiki referenced above indicates that to get xscreensaver to honor the reader, you must recompile it from source, which requires a lot of hunting for dev packages. While not difficult if you know what you are looking at, it is certainly not for the uninitiated.
