Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.45+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Hi there,

thanks for your work maintaining the xscreensaver package, it is really 
appreciated.

A recent update of xscreensaver somehow broke the integration with XFCE4 in the 
sense that the
daemon no longer starts on system startup. I can reproduce this every time I 
boot my laptop and
starts the user session in XFCE4.

How to reproduce:
 1) start the machine (XFCE4, lightdm, xscreensaver)
 2) start XFCE4 user session
 3) try to lock the screen by launching xscreensaver (CTRL+ALT+DEL)
 4) nothing happens
 5) open the 'Screensaver' XFCE4 configuration menu
 6) it warns that the xscreensaver daemon is not running, offers to start it 
now, click YES.
 7) the xscreensaver daemon is now running, back to 3), it works now!

I tried to force xscreensaver daemon run by adding it to the 'application 
autostart' in the
XFCE4 'session and startup' menu, but the reproducer is exactly the same.

>From my experience this is a regression, since previous version (in 
>bullseye/testing) didn't have
this behavior.

regards.
