+XSecureLock is an X11 screen lock utility designed with the primary goal
+of security.
+
+Screen lock utilities are widespread. However, in the past they often
+had security issues regarding authentication bypass (a crashing screen
+locker would unlock the screen), information disclosure (notifications
+may appear on top of the screen saver), or sometimes even worse.
+
+In XSecureLock, security is achieved using a modular design to avoid the
+usual pitfalls of screen locking utility design on X11.
+
+If pandoc (or pandoc-bin) is installed, then the SlackBuild will build
+man pages as well.
+
+In addition, mpv provides support for the saver_mpv module (which plays
+video clips in $HOME/Videos).
