Even better would be locking your workstation when you're not sitting in front of it, I've learned the hard way that you should always do this when other people can readily access your workstation ... You go to the toilet, and when you come back you discover that some stupid hack (coworker, friend of a coworker, kid, customer, whatever) closed all your windows, changed all kinds of settings, and who knows what else they did.

It's not even a matter of trust or security, just convenience and time-saving.

xlockmore can disable all CTRL+ALT key combinations.
