[SOLVED] enable Ctrl+Alt+L to lock?

I just installed and configured gnome after moving from ubuntu on my netbook, and I always used Ctrl+Alt+L to lock my workstations. How can I enable this in Arch? I installed the xscreensaver package based on a tip I found elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

If you use gnome-screensaver, launch "Keyboard Shortcuts" in your preferences menu and change the shortcut.
If you want to use xscreensaver see http://justlinux.com/forum/showpost.php … ostcount=7.
Or you could have just spent a minute googling.
