Lock screen on suspend/hibernate

Is it possible to make lxsession or lxsession-lite lock the screen (e.g. via xscreensaver-command --lock) on suspend or hibernation? This strikes me as kind of an essential requirement for privacy and whatnot, so I figure there has to be some way to do it...

gnome-screensaver locks screen after resuming from suspend launched by means configured in gnome-power-preferences.

Right click on desktop and create new text file with name: "lockscreen.desktop"
Right click on the file and open with "leafpad"
now paste thefollowing code into it and save it.
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Lock Screen
Comment=Locks your screen
Icon=xscreensaver
Exec=xscreensaver-command -lock
Terminal=false
Type=Application
cheers.........

That creates launcher for manually locking screen, but the question was if this can be done automatically after resume from suspend.
I suppose one could make a custom hook that runs screen lock on resume, see
