xlock is used if xscreensaver isn't running.  You should have a line 
similar to the following in either /etc/xfce4/xinitrc or 
~/.xfce4/xinitrc:

# Launch xscreensaver (if available), but only as non-root user
test $UID -gt 0 && xscreensaver -no-splash &

If you use xscreensaver, you can tell it to only blank the screen 
instead of running the screensavers.
