[clug] F15 xfce: suspend does not lock the session

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

I ended up following this note:
	http://askubuntu.com/questions/20585/how-to-lock-xscreensaver-on-suspend
but created a simpler script (being the only user on this system):

# cat /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/00xscreensaver
#!/bin/sh
su eyal -c "(xscreensaver-command -lock)"
exit 0

- 'sudo' did not work for me, it never executed the command,
   even though it worked from the root command line.
- I do not care that it locks on both suspend and resume.

cheers
