From `xscreensaver-command -help'
-watch Prints a line each time the screensaver changes state: when
the screen blanks, locks, unblanks, or when the running hack
is changed. This option never returns; it is intended for
by shell scripts that want to react to the screensaver in
some way.
See the man page for more details.
