..in my user case, SLiM does _not_ support locking the screen:
I can push the button and have the screen go black, problem is
it _stay_ black, like it kills the graphics, keyboard and touch
pad drivers.
Ssh-ing in works, but the easiest fix is yank the power, do a
fsck boot and then boot to the console and switch to kdm or
wdm etc.
