 Hi everyone,
 
 Qubes 3.2 displays the message "This version of XScreenSaver

 I haven't seen an update to Dom0 when running sudo
 qubes-dom0-update, so is this just annoying or an actual
 issue?

Didn't think so either, but why did I get the message in the first
place? Does it check for newer versions or is it just a timer ?

It's just a reflection of the fact that dom0 is still using fedora 23,
which is long past eol. SO no updates for the screensaver.
Is it an issue?
I don't think there have been advisories since 34, so 5.36 should be fine.
