I think it can only be started from a VT. But what's the problem? I have an xsession going, plus tmux, plus perhaps something else going in one or more VT

All I have to do is call vlock -a from a virtual terminal.

Now to access any terminal VT or xsession - you have to unlock this VT first.

But I can still access my box remotely through SSH

Does vlock work from an XWindow session? Or would I have to use it on
top of whatever I do to lock the XWindow session - xscreensaver/i3lock
etc?

(I browsed to the vlock README page on github but it doesn't answer this
question.)
