I did have the screen saver working at one stage in xubuntu 9.10 I can't remember what I had installed, But you could try this: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin And ensure the gnome services under advanced of xfce services.
The alternate to using "Gnome-Screensaver" is to remove it and install XScreensaver instead. (Uses the same data files). XScreensaver is probably (imho) a better choice for xubuntu. -- Screensaver does not turn on [Xubuntu Karmic] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397892 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
