I've attached an example program what does this. A few Notes:

  - When this code is executed as a result of an event, you should
    use event->time instead of GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

  - If your program has a bug, and it hangs, it may lock the X
    server. So make sure you have access to another console (e.g.
    Linux text console).

  - Of course, you should have *very* good reasons for locking other
    apps.
