That works. Thank you again.

I ended up writing a shell script since I've found in some cases the session may not be Session1. In the case currently on my laptop it's Session2.

#!/bin/sh
session=$(/usr/local/bin/ck-unlock-session)

/usr/local/bin/qdbus6 --system org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/$session org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session.Lock

Fair enough, I can live with that. That's what I have been doing, I did try a few hacky ways to initiating a lock but so far nothing has worked.

Anyway thank you for the help.

I didn't solve this problem because I have a habit of locking the screen myself (by pressing Meta+L in KDE).



This works for me from root console:

/usr/local/bin/qdbus6 --system org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session.Lock

Try to place it into /etc/rc.suspend
