If a customized xinitrc is used under user's home directory, it affects only to
that user's xfce startup. Do you think the selection of screensaver to use
should affect to all users? (Locking could be done by using the xflock4 script,
that can be programmed to use the daemon that is already running.)

I am afraid you can't do that by xscreensaver of gnome-screensaver. Do you
think there is a risk doing the lock command as a next command after starting a
daemon?
