No shortage of problems I Would say.

You can CTRL-ALT+BACKSPACE and kill the X server too, which, I think, will
work even when the xlock is locking the screen. (The reason I bring up the
possibilty of xlock not owrking is because it has the sticky bit set usually.)
Killing the X is not a problem usually, but if your keyboard is not listening,
then you... cannot.
