I've just tested with i3lock 2.6 (on Debian stable), which also returns after
a short moment to the desktop without verification, complaining

$ i3lock
i3lock: Cannot grab pointer/keyboard

so the issue seems to be caused by unclutter.  Hence maybe a manpage entry
warning about that behaviour is sufficient. Do you agree, or are you still
planning to fix this within slock?
