Thanks. Would it be possible to bump up the severity level because this bug means that Power Manager is basically broken in a fresh install of Debian Trixie XFCE. XFCE 4.20 dropped light-locker, so power manager has no control over screen blanking, and suspend fails after screen lock with default settings due to a long standing bug in light-locker. Multiple topics asking for help with these issues at the Debian forum.
