Re <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240804#c12>; "Somewh=

your messages you ask me not to disable xscreensaver by default...why? Havi=

BOTH enabled cannot work."

Re <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240804#c10>;

"The question now is how should xfce handle two or more different screensav=
ers
on the system?  In my opinion there are different pros and cons for any of =
the
possible solutions.  One aspect to take into consideration is xscreensaver
works on multiple DEs where as xfce4-screensaver likely only works with XFC=
E4.=20
For those that have multiple DEs they can and do use it would seem likely, =
but
not a sure thing, that xscreensaver should take precedence as the screensav=
er
enabled for the DE, ergo precedence for XFCE4.  This is just one thought of=
 a
few approaches that I think merits some discussion to see what seems the be=
st
approach to take.  I suspect this may be difficult discussion in that I can=
 see
many approaches that may makes sense as well.  I suggested the rational for
xscreensaver based on xscreensaver most likely works in most, if not all DE=
s.=20
That said discussion should occur to see what other thoughts are and the
pros/cons of those before deciding what approach will be taken."
