Bug Description

The applications menu plugin of the panel allows to logout, restart, sleep the computer or turn it off.

However there is no entry for locking the screen.

We have to add the "session" plugin to the panel.

I assume that you are talking about the xfce4-session-logout dialog window ("Log Out" application menu entry).

You're right all those actions could be gathered by the xfce4-session-logout dialog.

summary: - can't lock the screen from the applications menu
+ can't lock the screen from the logout dialog

Nowadays Xubuntu uses the Whisker Menu panel plugin by default. It allows the user to easily trigger the lock screen via button click.
