Lock Screen in Logout Dialog

If I choose Logout from menu, I see
Logout, Restart, Shutdown, Suspend, Hybernate

How can I add a 6th button for Lock Screen? Googled with no luck :-)

Right now, I can just create another launcher for xscreensaver-command -lock, or use the applet "Session Menu" ...
But I think Lock Screen should be grouped with the other similar options in the logout dialog...
Am I missing something?

Re: Lock Screen in Logout Dialog

Hello paolo321,

I don't think there is anyway to have Lock Screen in the Logout Dialog.  You can however add a panel "Actions Button" to Lock the screen, you could also just bind it to a key combo via Settings-> Keyboard Shortcuts.

In this post, they show how to customize the Logout dialog : http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4781
(It would be nice to put this on the wiki ...)
