You actually have to enable and pick a screensaver in xscreensaver's little GUI--I don't think it shows up in xfce4's settings.


Yes, I did that. I started it via the Applications Menu and then MX complained about the xcfe4 daemon still running.
I let it kill the process and start one for ...

Just uninstalled xfce4-screensaver and installed xscreensaver.

xfce4-screensaver is still in the Application Autostart, where I deactivated it - but the remove button is greyed out.
Let's hope that after a reboot I can ...

What happens now, does this need an xfce bug report?

Hi,

I encountered the problem that 7z files disappear in Thunar after synching with FreeFileSync.

I did this when updating, but I don't feel comfortable doing this in the middle of an update.
I would prefer to check in advance, in case I need to get more detailed information on the changes in config files.

So, checking for changes in advance is not that easy then?
