Nothing. slock-1.2 has a change in it to set its OOM score such
that an out-of-memory situation won't kill the screenlocker.
It's not a terrible idea, of course, but one side effect is that
making the slock binary sgid shadow isn't good enough any more -
it needs root privs to do the oom adjustment. I just pushed a fix
to my git branch, but in the meantime, you can do this to fix it:

  chown root:root /usr/bin/slock
  chmod 4755 /usr/bin/slock
