17418	"Add ""xscreensaver"" as recommended dependency for ""xfce4-power-manager"""	Rainer	blfs-book	"Screenlocking in xfce seems to require a screensaver to be installed (personal experience and [1]).

Provided this is correct and not due to a misconfiguration or some hidden option that I haven't found yet, xscreensaver should be a recommended dependency for xfce4-power-manager.

Because without a screensaver the screen is not locked after resume from suspend/hibernate, even if that option is selected in ""Powermanagement/System"" and/or ""Session"". This may be confusing for the user and may also be a security concern.

I have tested this with xfce4-screensaver-4.16.0 and xfce-4.18.0 in a SysV-system but I suppose that xscreensaver will work accordingly (see /usr/bin/xflock4).

My first ticket here, so I ask for some lenience. Thanks.

Rainer
