Hi,

Not sure if this just a command invocation problem or there are other 
issues at hand (say, power management, etc) but... I have a script that 
binds to 'CTRL + SHIFT + S':


$ cat opt/bin/lock-suspend
#!/bin/sh
systemctl suspend && mate-screensaver-command  -l


This one seems to work, however I would have thought that the logical 
sequence would be:

mate-screensaver-command  -l && systemctl suspend

that is, a) lock screen; b) suspend; c) resume with lock screen on.

Instead, if I use the latter syntax, upon resuming, there is a 10 second 
delay before locking the screen, which is not ideal for obvious privacy 
reasons.

Any input on that?
