Here's another nuance on lock screen, throwing in preOpenCard processing
just for good measure!
My preOpenCard code includes lock and unlock screen commands. While the
screen is locked, I alter the stack's topLeft property, expecting that the
user would see the stack in the location I set it to.
However, the stack is initially displayed in one location then jumps to the
location I set it to.
My understanding of preOpenCard is that it happens before the stack is
displayed so this behavior puzzles me. I had to move the code that
adjusts the stack's topLeft into another handler and execute it via a "send
in zero" command in order to get round some other issues with preOpenCard -
could it be that delays the setting of topLeft long enough that it doesn't
happen until after preOpenCard is done?
This all with LC 5.5.0 and OS X 10.7.4.

Yes, I have had that problem before, so now I tend to put the "relocate"
script,
along with a lockscreen command in a preOpenStack command:
on preOpenStack
set the lockScreen to true
set the loc of stack "ZZZ" to the screenLoc
set the lockScreen to false
end preOpenStack
