I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, running the sawfish window manager. Here
this works:
$ xmodmap -e "keycode 129 = ISO_Lock"
You may want to put that in .xsession.
and in the sawfish window manager add a shortcut for ISO_Lock to run the
command "xscreensaver-command -lock".
Result: Pressing that key locks the screen. Now if only I could move
that key further away from the power button...
PS: I'm not sure that's the correct usage of the ISO_Lock; it's probably
intended to do something along the lines of capslock or numlock. But
it works for me...
