Description
### What Happened?
There is an issue with the sleep-wake-hibernate behaviour in the OS. When I open the lid to my laptop, everyone can see the contents of the screen. Only after a couple of seconds does the system realize it's supposed to be locked, and then the system switches to the lockscreen.
A side note is that the power settings are inadequate in the OS. Even if the setting on lid close is to hibernate or suspend, the system should be locked immediately. I haven't tested it yet, but this could be a serious vulnerability and an easily exploitable one.
[I posted another sleep-wake issue here, maybe they're related?

It would be much better if the system could be locked on lid close, and then suspend/hibernate after a certain period of time. As of now, the power settings only allow you to choose one option for lid close.
I'm posting this here as I believe it is related to the power settings and sleep-wake.
### Steps to Reproduce
Close lid and open
### Expected Behavior
System should be locked before the wake process. Nobody should be able to view the screen contents of a "locked" system.
### OS Version
6.x (Odin)
