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.
