When I was in Sun IT support, I had a similar case where the guy did not want 
the Screen Lock to activate as he was monitoring a server over a vnc session and 
also did not want to spend time just gazing at the screen.

So I developed a simple Java console app that clicked the primary mouse button 
wherever the pointer was placed at intervals < than the screen lock time
