Description

X11 desktop sessions gain an i3lock screen locker built around XCB and PAM authentication. It helps users lock lightweight window-manager sessions without a full desktop environment.

Lock screens rely on correct PAM and session integration. Test password prompts, suspend and resume, and multi-monitor behavior before depending on it for unattended machines.
