[dev] [slock] [PATCH] Blank the screen with colour 0

[David Phillips]

When started, slock doesn't blank the displays to colour 0 until a
slock to realise the input buffer is empty (i.e. backspace is hit). As
far as I can tell, this isn't the intended behaviour. This patch fixes
this problem such that as soon as slock is started, the display is
blanked to colour 0, rather than (in my case) black.

This is the first time I've submitted a patch via email like this, so
please make appropriate allowances for any ignorance on my part.
