i3lock - improved screen locker
===============================
i3lock is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will
see a white screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return
to your screen by entering your passwords.

- i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM
(run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen
after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
