The following is a function I use in my .zshrc file to achieve some form of lazy evaluation.

local function lazy_load() {
    local -xr thunk="$(cat)"
    # (u) removes duplicates
    local -xr triggers=(${(u)@})
    
    # Only if length of triggers is greater than zero
 # otherwise the function will immediately execute.

• Install both xscreensaver and xsecurelock using your package manager

• Make sure xscreensaver is not set to lock the screen or to manage the display. Xfce aleady does all those, so there is no need to enable it again.

• Also make sure that the xscreensaver daemon is not autostarted. Not doing this may result in the screen not being locked.

• Set the following environmental variables (in ~/.xprofile or ~/.xsession) for xsecurelock:

  # xsecurelock options
  

export XSECURELOCK_SAVER=saver_xscreensaver
