Table List: Lock request time out period exceeded. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1222)

When browsing the table list within SQL Server Management Studio, I received this error:

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)

I didn't found any error when I checked locked processes with:
SELECT * FROM SYSPROCESSES WHERE BLOCKED <> 0

After some minutes I realized that processes could not be found because Management Studio timed it out after 5 seconds.
So I decided to manually query the list of tables with:
SELECT * FROM SYSOBJECTS

It remain blocked and querying sysprocesses I was able to find the blocking process and kill it.

When performing the query the result is returned in a bunch of records, so how did you actually identify the locking process??
