When using Fluxbox and xlock, how do I ask for the password when the computer wakes up from either hibernation or suspend? It looks like when xlock is locking the screen, I have no way to initiate hibernation/suspend. And when I suspend without locking, the computer never asks for the password upon resuming.

I'm sure there must be a more tasteful way of doing it, but I'm going to settle with something simple; just map a hotkey (for my case, it's Mod4 + h) to xlock and hibernate commands. Basically I'm running xlock in the background before hibernating. When the computer wakes up, it's already locked.

Code:
~/.fluxbox/keys
Mod4 h  :Exec xlock & /usr/sbin/hibernate
