[SOLVED] Unable to modify XFCE keyboard bindings

All I want to do is change the lock screen hotkey from <Ctr><Alt>Del to  <Ctr><Alt>L (as in Gnome).

I go to Settings Editor -> xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts and under commands I can see the entry but it won't let me modify it. (Tried this as root also).

Next. Settings -> Keyboard, and its Application shortcuts tab. "Add shortcuts" seems exactly what I need. But the popup lets you enter command but not the shortcut! Strange.

Any ideas?

I do not if you can modify it, I did not found a solution for that, but you can delete the old, and create a new one.

Menu --> Settings --> Keyboard --> Tab: Application Shortcuts --> ADD --> enter the command and press OK --> NOW you can press your hotkey.

Works beautifully! Took <10 sec :-)

Thanks.
