When I had a problem with xfce4-screensaver, I took it out of the
startup apps list, killed all running components and uninstalled  the
app.

That was back when xscreensaver worked really well for me.  This is no
longer true. I now use it and don't have any problems with it.  You
may have to coordiante the settings in xfce4-screensaver and the power
manager so the screen behaves the way you expect it to.

HTH.
