Hmm--I see 1.10 has actually been out for a month!

https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-sc ... r/releases

Our version is patched so it actually says "xfce4-screensaver" in the settings instead of looking exactly like xscreensaver's entry there--if they haven't fixed that, I should ask for that fix upstream.

Debian has it in the sid repo.

Yes, I'm rebuilding it from there, but with our patch.

Package can be downloaded for testing from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wi34d ... mZbHLcHeZr

It should be in the test repo soon. Do we want the dev team to install and test it first so it can go to main quickly?

It should hopefully need very little testing, and we definitely want it in the upcoming point release.

I tried it on a VirtualBox VM installation of MX-19.1. I can't tell whether it actually saved my screen or not :smile: but it displayed what it was supposed to after the time I'd set and didn't do anything bad.
