question re lock screen

[J. Landman Gay]

Lockscreen only works within the current window, it doesn't apply to the 
whole screen. Changing stacks will always show what's happening because LC 
has to create a new window structure. The visibility isn't relevant per se 
but drawing the new window is.

You can initialize the new stack before going to it. Or if you want a 
visual effect you can go to the stack in the same window, which replaces 
the current content with the new stack's content without creating a new window.
