I like the idea of internal locking mechanism in windowmaker.
Right now I am using either xlocmore, i3lock or slock and they are
working fine but it would be nice to provide the locking mechanism
with the window manager distribution so that we can be sure it's
maintained.

I don't know why many distributions decided to drop xlockmore package.
Might be that it hasn't been maintained for some time in the past or
that it tend to segfault (I have experienced it several times few
years ago).

According to i3lock's manual, i3lock is slightly improved version of
slock.

If people experienced segfaults with slock under some circumstances
this is a very bad thing, especially for a screensaver with locking
support.
