I've not upgraded yet, but on all versions of Fedora up to 20, xfce 
spin, in the Application Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard -> Application 
Shortcuts, you can add one to 'xscreensaver-command - activate'.  The 
key you want is called <Super>, so I have mine configured that <Super>l 
locks the screen, so if I press the Meta key ( windows/start key on 
Windows systems, Apple key on Macs ), it locks the screen.
