Re <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240804#c12> "Somewhere in
your messages you ask me not to disable xscreensaver by default...why? Having
BOTH enabled cannot work."

"The question now is how should xfce handle two or more different screensavers
on the system?  In my opinion there are different pros and cons for any of the
possible solutions.  One aspect to take into consideration is xscreensaver
works on multiple DEs where as xfce4-screensaver likely only works with XFCE4. 
For those that have multiple DEs they can and do use it would seem likely, but
not a sure thing, that xscreensaver should take precedence as the screensaver
enabled for the DE, ergo precedence for XFCE4.  This is just one thought of a
few approaches that I think merits some discussion to see what seems the best
approach to take.  I suspect this may be difficult discussion in that I can see
many approaches that may makes sense as well.  I suggested the rational for
xscreensaver based on xscreensaver most likely works in most, if not all DEs. 
That said discussion should occur to see what other thoughts are and the
pros/cons of those before deciding what approach will be taken."
