xdotool type MYPASSWORD ; xdotool key Return

This is actually a great idea.  I'd like to expand on that to not just unlocking the desktop, but authentication in general.  For example, it could be used for unlocking KDE vaults or issuing commands as root.  There's lots of potential for your idea beyond desktop unlocking.
