xflock4 is just a simple wrapper script, it does not do any locking itself.
Without an actual screensaver to do the job, xflock4 is useless.

Again, xfce4-power-manager will not do anything, it will just call an external
command, starting with xflock4, so without an actual screensaver to do the job,
xfce4-power-manager won't lock anything by itself.
