I tried using the menu buttons to go into suspend and hibertnate modes, and (after I turned the computer back on) the screen was not locked in either case. I also tried using the settings of the power manager to control things, and the same issue was present.
This is all on Xfce 4.6, though. I haven't tried the 4.8 setup yet. If we don't enable those buttons by default, we can at least document what to do, and the risks (security) involved in doing so.
