Public bug reported: When installing and running the xubuntu-desktop, the xscreensaver is enabled by default.
That is no bad thing by itself, but the menus don't show the option to disable it. It takes quite some time to go through all options in the settings menu (and, because one expects the screensaver setting there, one goes through them double and triple), and really drives one crazy. Only after finding the right google search, I found this- so it's a long existing problem: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339855 As for documentation/resolving: running xfce-setting-show shows a full xfce settings dialog, where the option screensaver can be found. There should also be a button in the setting menu for this. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- xubuntu screensaver disabling is hidden very deep https://launchpad.net/bugs/81319 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
