Maybe it's the way you define it. Try adding an "exec" before xlock. My
xlock works fine, under an AddToMenu command:
+ "XLock%mini.xlock.xpm%" Exec exec xlock -mode random &
I didn't experiment much with it, and don't know if you need the "&" on
the end, for example, but this works for me. BTW, my xlock is the same
path and permissions and so on.
Cheers.
