Enhanced X11 screen locker

Metalock is an enhanced screen locker for the X11 windowing system. It is designed to be used with a background screen daemon, such as xidle. Current features include: - Support for pixmap (image) xpm background and login box. - It gives visual feedback as you type the password (Shows username and * for each character of password typed.) - Bind arbitrary commands to key combinations (allows tasks such as pause/un-pause music without unlocking the screen) - Optional XFT support for anti-aliased fonts. (This is optional in case greater security is desired) - Optional Imlib2 support for use of png or jpg formats, which are more appropriate for photos or high-color images than xpm. - Portable to most UNIX-like operating systems, developed on FreeBSD.
