Well, I have not seen any bug reports concerning issues with multiple users
using different screen savers simultaneously. Anyway, I may have some time for
the xfconf thing. I guess it is a big/difficult task since you have not
implemented it yet. I guess it would also help, if you contributed to it as
well, instead of ranting how utter crap xflock4 is.

On the other hand, if one uses light-locker, what for does Xfce have to know
that it is the tool used for locking screen?
