I have a program I call scrsav that runs as a daemon and times out
the screen (By switching to a selected idle screen and blanking it etc.)
and when it detects a <SHIFT>,<ALT>,<CTL> etc keypress (Or keystroke
if you desire) will switch back to the previous screen.  We have used it
at all our clients etc. for the past 7 months.

I have seen many requests for such a beast, however, I currently distribute
it as shareware (flames to /dev/null).  Knowing the general feeling about
this I refuse to post it unless there is an overwhelming demand for me
to do so.

Here is the 'usage' message:

  Usage: scrsav [-k key_delay_ms] Millisecond delay between keypress checks
                [-c check_delay]  Seconds to sleep between idle checks
                [-i idle_secs]    Greater than idle_secs causes screen save
                [-b blank screen] Number of screen to use for blanking
                [-n]              Don't idle when on screen with sticky bit set
  
Please contact me via email if you are interested.
