I was able to correct the problem by modifying kupfer/plugin/session_xfce.py:15

-- LOCKSCREEN_CMD = (["xdg-screensaver", "lock"], )
++ LOCKSCREEN_CMD = (["xflock4"], )

This invokes xflock4 which is the command that locks your session in XFCE 4.

I do have xdg-screensaver installed, executing xdg-screensaver lock results in this:

> xdg-screensaver lock                                                                                                                                                                                           
ERROR: Unknown command 'lock'

Not sure, but look like bug in ubuntu's xdg-util version. Debian last version work ok.
xdg-screensaver is more versatile than xflock4, so I don't want change it for now.

session_xfce4: configurable lock screen command
3c8b4f6 
Allow configure custom lock command as "xdg-screensaver lock" may not work
in all cases. XFCE provide xflock4 command that may be used instead.

Making the command configurable sounds like a satisfactory solution, thanks.
