CTRL + ALT + L does not work in lubuntu 13.10

[Markus J Schmidt]

When pressing CTRL + ALT + L in the lubuntu release 13.10 (saucy), only an message window appears: "Openbox: Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver command (no such file or directory)".

I already found the bug:
The reason is an old assignment of openbox the xscreensaver, which is not used in saucy. The config file ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu_rc.xml has to be changed. I added my changed file where I replaced xscreensaver command with "dm-tool lock".

I get the same error dialog in amd64+mac.

It's lubuntu-default-settings bug, not openbox.

Patched lubuntu_rc.xml from comment #1 works!

Hitting control alt L does not seem to be working in the current trusty daily.

Is there a workaround to fix this?

Saucy is EOL:

Please check a supported release.

I have just installed lubuntu over ubuntu 14.04. The bug is still present in the currently distributed lubuntu. Editing lubuntu_rc.xml works though.
