According to the archived thread:
https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2014-April/thread.html#33464

I don't see anyone mentioning the screensaver settings. Just that
you had replies that were left unanswered. Marc suggested making sure
Gnome's own screensaver frontend is not running:

Marshall suggested the locking option in the *Power Manager* settings:

which can be found there, as Charles suggested:

Hardly a crashing silence.
