I use "xautolock" and "xlock" to accomplish the locking.  "xautolock"
takes command line options specifying how long of a period of inactivity
before locking the screen and what program to use for the locking.

"xautolock" has a "-corners" option that will allow you to configure specific
actions for the four corners.  I haven't played with it, but it looks like it
will do exactly what you want.
