I've used both xlockmore and xscreensaver extensively.  The only
problem I've ever encountered is that one, I think xlockmore, didn't
deal too well with a dual screen setup about a year and a half ago so
I went with xscreensaver.  It didn't crash or anything, it just ran on
one screen only or some such.

If you have issues, you can always hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a virtual
console and log in to kill the screensaver process.  I've done that
too - not out of need, just to test.
