Please avoid the usage of pm-utils. It's no longer actively developed
and doesn't properly integrate with modern desktops using logind.

A much better workaround is
systemctl hibernate

This will trigger logind and make sure the screen is locked and
everything which installed a logind inhibitor is signalled.

You could even bind that command to a keyboard shortcut.
