--- Comment #1 from Guido Falsi <madpilot at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi,

I'm sorry for the problem you're experiencing.

I never encountered this during my testing of XFCE 4.14.

To change the screen saver used by the desktop you should go to the Session and
Startup configuration utility (available in the settings menu). In the
Application Autostart tab there should be lines for Screensaver and
XScreenSaver. You should be able to disable the first and enable the second.

Could you try that?

If this does not work, I will see to stop xfce4-screensaver from installing by
default, so as not to cause this anymore.
