There was an application about a year or so, Gnome based, that I saw
in the Ubuntu repository. I just checked the ports tree, but
unfortunately I don't see it.  (I searched based on key, not name,
because I forget the exact name.)

It would connect to bluetooth on a cellular phone / smartphone, and if
the bluetooth signal was lost (ie, you walked away) xscreensaver would
kick in.
