Nor can I find how to add it. I don't normally reply to myself but no one else did and I found the answer after some searching. So, for the benefit of others... I was able to change the default behavior of Ctrl-Alt-Del from Log Off screen to that of Lock Screen by going into the Configuration Editor (gconf-editor) and choosing apps -> metacity -> keybindings_commands and doing some editing. I noticed that command_1 was already assigned "gnome-session-save --kill" so I edited the blank command_2 to be "xscreensaver-command -lock". Then I went to apps -> metacity -> global_keybindings and assigned run_command_2 to "<Ctrl><Alt>Delete and changed run_command_1 to "<Ctrl><Alt>l". Now, when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I get a locked screensaver just as I did with NT and w2k and I can still log out with Ctrl-Alt-l. All in all, faily easy and I didn't even have to look up any old escape or ascii codes. :-)
