Hello List:
is there a way to lock the screen manually within Xfce (as within Gnome) ?
Thanks in advance,

Good point!

Shortcuts says that Ctrl + Alt + Delete should do the job, but it
doesn't. The "Action Buttons" plugin information includes "lock", but
the plugin doesn't add a lock option.
Are you sure you checked out the Properties for the plugin? There's a
dropdown list for what the button actually does including Lock.
Btw. for my Debian I'm missing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, nothing happens
if I push the shortcut, neither for GNOME 2 and GNOME 3, nor for Xfce.
That's an X related issue/feature, X disabled ctrl+alt+backspace in fact
that doesn't lock the screen it restarts X (just google it)

I pushed Alt + F2 and then run xflock4, then the screen gets locked, but
it won't get black.
Hth,
Ralf
