CLI output XFCE startup configuration files and contents of two different
screensaver applications in xfce4 autostart configuration

CLI output XFCE startup configuration files and contents of two different
screensaver applications in xfce4 autostart configuration

While investigating bug #240804 discovered that the xfce names for xscreensaver
and xfce-screensaver have same file manager names, "screensaver" and same entry
names for XFCE4 Autostart, "Screensaver (Launch screensaver and locker
program).", making it impossible to determine which application a user wants to
enable or disable.

This discovery is result of a FreeBSD pkg upgrade done 20190925 that caused bug
#240804 to occur.

It would see reasonable that both the associated file manager name and XFCE4
Startup entries should be unique and identifiable to the application variant
and not be the same names thereby causing user and even very technical user
confusion.
