xsecurelock - security-focused screenlocker

One of the complaints on Linux is how unsafe screenlockers are. Google made a new screenlocker that tries to address this concern. Instructions are on the git page.

^ Nice, thanks! I use slock... although not sure how secure it is.

EDIT: depends on PAM, which I won't install (and isn't in Slackware). ;)
