OK. I did what you said and added it in my .xinitrc file. This is what I
added.

xautolock -time 10 -bell 10 -notify 10 -locker "xlock -mode bubble3d
-count 20 -fg red -bg grey -username something -password "Unlock me with
your powerful key:" -info "Whatever" -validate "Checking your key..."
-invalid "Message"

I get the following message if i try to run xautolock with those
settings

>xautolock -time 10 -bell 10 -notify 10 -locker "xlock -mode bubble3d
>-count 20 -fg red -bg grey -username something -password "Unlock me
>with your powerful key:" -info "Whatever" -validate "Checking your
>key..." -invalid "Message"
Unmatched ".

Did I forget something?
