I would like a keyboard shortcut for the menu item "Lock

don't think one exists by default, at least I can't find it in the

I don't normally reply to myself but no one else did and I found the
answer after some searching. So, for the benefit of others...
I was able to change the default behavior of Ctrl-Alt-Del from Log Off
screen to that of Lock Screen by going into the Configuration Editor
(gconf-editor) and choosing
apps ->
metacity ->
keybindings_commands
and doing some editing. I noticed that command_1 was already assigned
"gnome-session-save --kill" so I edited the blank command_2 to be
"xscreensaver-command -lock". Then I went to
apps ->
metacity ->
global_keybindings
and assigned run_command_2 to "<Ctrl><Alt>Delete and changed
run_command_1 to "<Ctrl><Alt>l".
Now, when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I get a locked screensaver just as I
did with NT and w2k and I can still log out with Ctrl-Alt-l.
All in all, faily easy and I didn't even have to look up any old escape
or ascii codes. :-)
