slock does not currently support dbus integration, which is required for
FreeDesktop message passing as I understand it. I don't see a community patch
for it either on its patches page [1]. It's likely this is functionality you
will have to write into slock yourself, or use some sort of wrapper tool around
slock to achieve it. E.g. if there is a shell utility for sending these
messages, you might be able to write a wrapper for slock in the spirit of:
send_session_lock_msg
slock
send_session_unlock_msg
I haven't played enough with dbus to know, but I presume there's a tool that
can mimic the behaviour.
