It happens with some X11 apps that request the mouse pointer right away, but it is grabbed so it fails, You can fix it changing your bindkey to something like: "bindsym --release $mod+Mod1+l exec "sleep 0.5 ; slock" Actually, i3 has a feature for dealing with it though, --release: try better: bindsym --release $mod+Mod1+l exec "slock"
