Truecrypt: dismount on screensaver activation

    Greetings,

    After much googling, I can't for the life of me figure out how to run a script once the screensaver has been unlocked.

    I'm using gnome.

    I want to dismount an encrypted volume when the screen-saver is activated and remount once the screen has been unlocked.

    Currently, when I unlock the screen, the encrypted volume is still mounted. This is not what I want: I want to be prompted to re-mount the encrypted drive when unlocking the screen.

    I've got a script running on start-up which activates a dialogue asking for the truecrypt password. This works perfectly fine.

    Also, how do I run 'truecrypt -d /my/enc/volume' on log-out?

    I hope someone out there knows this stuff off the top of their heads.

    I can't seem to figure it out!

    Thanks in advance,
