Starting in an awake/prompt visible state #161

Open NathanC opened 1 year ago

I'd like to have it so that, when invoking xsecurelock, it starts in an awake state where the prompt can be seen and then timing out (or making it so it does not timeout on startup, alternatively).

I've tried adding XSECURELOCK_BLANK_TIMEOUT as both 5 and -1, and neither work, despite the docs saying The time is measured since the closing of the auth window or xsecurelock startup, but maybe I'm misunderstanding that options?

I've also looked into these directions, but they're more for waking a pre-existing secure lock session it looks like.
