Automatic screen locking on XFCE/Security Onion

Screen Locking on XFCE

This may be old-school, but I like to have X screen locking. It does not come by default on XFCE and, by extension on Security Onion
To get it working, I did the following:

apt-get install xautolock

Created ~/.config/autostart/runXinitrc.desktop with the following content

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Script
Type=Application
Exec=/ASOLUTE/PATH/TO/HOME/.xinitrc
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Hidden=false

Created .xinitrc with the following content:

xautolock -time 15 -locker /usr/bin/xflock4 &

And, as an added bonus, for those who want the control key to the left of A where God and Richard Stallman intended it, create ~/.config/autostart/ with the following (change Exec location to suit):

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Script
Type=Application
Exec=/ASOLUTE/PATH/TO/HOME/bin/fixctrl.sh
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Hidden=false

and finally, create /ASOLUTE/PATH/TO/HOME/bin/fixctrl.sh with:

setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:nocaps'

…yes, there are probably better, simpler ways to do all this…
