Fedora 44
Xfce 4.20
xfce4-screensaver-4.20.0-2.fc44.x86_64
If after removing xscreensaver and installing xfce4-screensaver
# dnf remove xscreensaver
# dnf install xfce4-screensaver
and you can not get xfce4-screensaver to activate,
this is the workaround:
$ mv ~/.config/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop
~/.config/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop.disabled
$ su root -c "mv /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop.disabled"
And this is the bug report:
