Screenlocking under SunRay 2.0

SunRay 2.0 under Solaris 9 9 8/03 Generic_117171-08 on V880z

We recently upgraded from SunRay 1.0 to 2.0. Previously when the
user would lock their screen it would, well, lock their screen.
Now under SunRay 2.0 instead of locking the screen, the user's
session disappears (from screen) and the login screen appears.

The user can log back in to their original session if they like,
but it would be nice to restore the earlier behavior of just
locking the screen and presenting a window where the user can
enter their password to unlock it.

I've checked the archives. Also, in the SunRay 2.0 AdminGuide on pg. 27
it says to use the following command to enable screen lock:

/opt/SUNWut/lib/utaction -d /usr/dt/bin/dtaction LockDisplay &

and by adding this to a user's ~/.dtprofile this should be enabled
when a user detaches from a session.

The AdminGuide also says you can create a script 0999.screenlock as
executable in /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d which will enable this on a
system-wide basis. When I did this, it prevented users from logging
into our sunrays.
