[SOLVED]can't lock the computer in xfce4

Hey,
I have just installed arch, and I installed xfce4, but I can't lock my computer nor change users.

I found something about that, I need to install xflock4 but I can't install it, it's not in pacman at least.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks for help

xflock4 is just a shell script which calls upon a screen locker to actually lock the screen. You need to install such a screen locker, see here for a list of screen lockers available in Arch. Incidentally, xflock4 is provided by xfce4-session so you almost certainly already have it.

As for switching users, see here.
