How to define keyboard shortcut to suspend Xubuntu 12.04?

I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 on a MacBook Pro. I would like to define a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+l) that let's me lock the screen (suspend) Xubuntu. I am following How can I suspend using a keyboard shortcut, without administrator privileges?

The problem is the following: When I try to to define a new shortcut with System -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts -> Add, I only see

Shortcut: [no area to type in]

Command: ___________ [area to type in]

That means I can put in a command, but no shortcut. Is this a bug?

If you accidentally hit a wrong button, or want to edit the shortcut, just double click on the shortcut area of the command-
