The right answer is to lock the keyboard and then turn off the display entirely; when we get input (or a lid open event, etc.), turn it back on, paint it solid and give a password box just like with a screensaver.I don't want to sound paranoid or something, but paint it solid before turning off the screen. TFT displays can be read without the backlight on under the right light.
Screen savers should do this as well. Kind of disconcerting when activating the screen saver momentarily flashes the contents of the screen before blanking it. Especially if you work in an environment that deals in proprietary data.
