So ?
How would I check for these running in the background ?
Personally , I think the monitor itself does this unless a commanded to tell it not to. It's not so important to me since I like to have it. I have mine set for 60 min and that means when say downloading overnight the screen goes to absolute blank, fine. But I suppose some folk might think differently to me. I suppose if you are playing a film you don't want that happeneing then, but I don't get that so why should I worry ? On the other hand I suppose I ought to know what is actually happening.

Sorry - it's xlock and xscreensaver (/usr/bin/xlock and /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver)
xscreensaver used to load when I first installed XFCE but I've taken it out of the xinitrc script as I have my druthers to turn the monitor off when necessary - and BTW, my monitor, after 30 minutes, turns itself off - a setting on the monitor itself.

If I type xscreensaver into a terminal I can see several places to set
up powersaving and other things.
So, Xlock (which I had never ever heard of) merely sets passwords to unlock screensaver, and xscreensaver, which I had but a faint knowledge of, is another device for setting up both screensaver and powerdown,I think, just like kde can do some of this. Looks like Xscreensaver is running things .Xscreensaver looks to be part of Xwindows setup.To be honest I didn't know Xwindows had it's own screen control mechanism like xscreensaver. Thanks.
