jarnosHello. Is xscreensaver started differently in latest Xubuntu with 5.45? In Fedora Linux xscreensaver is not started, if certain other screensaver(s) are installed: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/issues/115#note_4314410:08

jarnosHello. I would like to know how xfce4-screensaver is working in latest Xubuntu. I use 20.04 myself and here it works so that it will be started on session start even if not selected in autostart dialog and it will be used with suspend even if the daemon is not running before suspending and even if another screensaver is configured to be used.10:29
jarnosOnly good option to use another screensaver is to uninstall xfce4-screensaver. Even if there is xflock4 script that supports using user configurable screensaver/locker for locking.10:31
jarnosI am also interested in how xscreensaver (5.45) is working in the latest Xubuntu. The latest version upstream is 6.02.10:35
jarnosBut even 5.45 has systemd integration.10:36
jarnosWill xscreensaver refuse to start, if xfce4-screensaver is installel like in Fedora? https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/issues/115#note_4314410:37

jarnosI think it should be possible for a user to choose a screensaver he/she uses even if there is another one installed.10:38
jarnosI think it would be better not to have xfce4-screensaver as recommended package of xfce4-desktop because it is not even maintained currently.10:42
