I have recently upgraded 2 systems from Xubuntu 18.04 to Xubuntu 20.04.
I was using XScreenSaver on both of them. The system upgrade
automatically installed or enabled Light-Locker, and then I could not
unlock the system anymore. The problem is described here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/ghjztu/double_lock_screen_on_xubuntu_after_upgrading_to/

I was annoyed to hit this issue 5 months after it had been described.
But I then found this bug and it turns out that it is many years old.

I still do not know why there are so many screensaver packages. I was
getting 2 "screensaver" icons in XFCE even after removing package
'light-locker', so I removed package 'xscreensaver' too. It turns that
there still is a third package called 'xfce4-screensaver' which seems to
work fine.

It is all confusing and annoying.
