I want to lock my X display with xlock prior to suspending my iBook yet I couldn't find any scripts that are run just before the lid is closed or the powerbutton pressed.

you probably want a current version of pbbuttonsd which conflicts with pmud
as it provides all the functionality of pmud and a lot more, one thing
being an init-scripts-like system to call stuff before suspend and after
resume in these directories:

/etc/power/scripts.d    # scripts
/etc/power/suspend.d    # symbolic links
/etc/power/resume.d   # symbolic links

The file /etc/power/README explains this in more detail.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks - too bad I had pbbuttonsd on hold because some version after 0.5.3a didn't get sound/volume right and thus missed this innovation.

Now finally security-wise I have my iBook where I want it :)
