Same problem here on a clean xubuntu daily install (Xubuntu 8.04 and xfce4-utils 4.4.2-4ubuntu1).
In my system, the screensaver doesn't start because startxfce4 are never called by default gdm session so /etc/xdg/xfce/xinitrc are not processed at all. You need to explicitly select Xfce Session in gdm login but on a clean installation this session isn't the default. Not sure how to proceed. -- xfce4-panel lock screen button not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
