Public bug reported:
I use XFCE solely. After a recent upgrade, xscreensaver is no longer run
in my system. Instead it seems GNOME screensaver is run. When I run the
XFCE screensaver settings dialog it complains that the GNOME screensaver
daemon appears to be running and that it must be stopped for
XScreenSaver to work properly. Interestingly if I stop it, and later say
I want XScreenSaver to be launched (it says it seems it isn't running),
the dialog freezes and an error pops up. Afterwards if I close the
settings dialog and open it again it complains of exactly the same
things (GNOME Screensaver daemon running, XScreenSaver not running).
I'm running Xenial with XFCE and XScreenSaver is version 5.34-2ubuntu1.
Please, reassign if bug is in another package.
