i haver red hat 7.3 with gnome
i want to lock the desktop when i go out of my office without logging out.
when i choose "lock the desktop" there is no response why ?
 
Have you tried to run the "xlock" program from a shell command line? If it works then you're menu is mucked up... Sorry I don't do gnome so I can't help there.

If not then try & get it on your system... err it may be there but you can't run it directly ($PATH, or permissions, whathaveyou).
