I wanted you to run "sleep 2; xscreensaver-command -lock" on the command
line in a terminal window. The sleep is there only to not trigger
anything when you release the Enter key.

If you are using Unity you cannot expect xscreensaver to work. Unity has
explicitly been made to only use its own screen lock functionality and
to not be compatible with other general screensaver daemons. You must
ask the Unity developers or switch to another desktop environment. I can
recommend LDXE (Lubuntu).

Title:
  XScreenSaver doesn't lock screen on suspend

Status in “xscreensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  XScreenSaver does not lock screen on suspend even with gnome-screensaver removed. With the standard "CTRL-ALT-L" shortcut the screen is NOT locked with xscreensaver; this is solved by setting that shortcut to 'xscreensaver-command -lock'. 
  Even with these "workarounds" the screen is locked using Ubuntu's standard lock screen and not with xscreensaver's one.
