3. It doesn't appear to be possible. In fact, there is an official
Sun document which says that there isn't a way.

To my knowledge, you cannot kill the screen lock (a la xlock under
openwin) and get to the desktop when it was kicked off from the CDE
front panel. Since CDE under 2.5.1 (and 2.6?) will not autolock and I
happen to prefer xlock anyway, [even though I've remapped my CDE lock
function to call xlock,] I just compiled up xautolock and have it
running; conveniently enough, xlock can be killed and the desktop is
available.
