Its been awhile but last I checked xlockmore did not handle the case where
the users passwd has expired while the screen was locked. Though I think it
could readily, as the krb5 code it seems to me returns a error code about
an expired passwd after its checked to see if the passwd matched.. that 
should be sufficient to let a user unlock his screen.

My thoughts on this were always that xlock (xlockmore whatever...) should
not get _tickets_ for people, only authenticate them. I never felt that
xlock(more) should get tickets for the user, though I think that is what
their code does if I recall.
