Ok, then let's try to find out which locker xflock4 actually uses (from the file you attached).

To recap, when you call

  $ xflock4

manually it locks but doesn't allow you to unlock, right?

Please try to call these manually (in that order) and stop at the first one that doesn't throw an error:

$ xscreensaver-command -lock
$ gnome-screensaver-command --lock
$ xlock -mode blank
$ slock

Which one was it?

(It will probably still be unable to unlock)
