I change xtrlock code to work in C2 security.
Why do i use xtrlock ?

* dxpause can be killed on PC with X emulation (Qvision, eXceed, ..)
        if you click very fast on the 'OK' bouton

* dxpause lock all X events, and some X terminals reset their
        connections or X11 server (you have to change a delay somewhere)

* dxpause doesn't let you to see what's on the screen

* xtrlock works on almost all systems even in C2 security

* 'root' password unlock the screen too (dxpause NOT)

* xtrlock memory usage is smaller.
