other things to check: - is the screensaver process running at the start of the session, or only after suspend/resume ? - is there smth in xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /general/LockCommand ? What if you try running whatever xlock program you want there ? in the session code, there's something that might try to lock the screen when suspending (cf https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/blob/xfce4-session-4.17.1/xfce4-session/xfsm-shutdown-fallback.c#L334) (but only if /shutdown/LockScreen xfconf property is true ? it doesnt seem to exist/be set by default here) which might call xflock4 by default, which in turns might spawn the screensaver by default. cf https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/blob/xfce4-session-4.17.1/xfce4-session/xfce-screensaver.c#L495 as https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/-/issues/149 says, yes it's a mess :) Landry
