(In reply to Guido Falsi from comment #1)
There is no xscreensaver entry in the XFCE autostart.  There are two entries,
both ticked, listed as "Screensaver (Launch screensaver and locker program)."

I have not looked at this autostart since the first week after I  installed
FreeBSD 11.3 mid July 2019 when I added gkrellm, and disabled Notes and
Clipman.  This means I do not recall if xscreensaver was in the XFCE autostart
then or prior to the pkg upgrade install that included a new install
xfce4-screensaver: 0.1.8.

Please advise if both "Screensaver (Launch screensaver and locker program)."
entries should be disabled and/or deleted and/or if I will need to add
xscreensaver back in.  If I need to add screensaver back in will I need to add
any options or such.  I have not used XFCE for some years, but used it for some
years before I discovered LXDE about 7 years ago.  I liked LXDE very much. 
Sadly LXDE does not work in FreeBSD even though LXDE works just fine in
OpenBSD.
