If xscreensaver decides it can't do locking, then when started it should write to stderr why it thinks that. Does openbox capture the stderr of the processes that it starts to some file you can review? If not, then stop xscreensaver with xscreensaver-command -exit and then start xscreensaver against manually in a shell and see what it says. Philip Guenther
