Good to know! So, it sounds like you were seeing XFCE invoking "xscreensaver-command -deactivate" directly, is that right? That would have been happening here: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/-/blob/2969f0b1ddb60ccda2989c6da6977ab51c75dfd7/src/xfce-screensaver.c#L122 However it looks like that's a fallback, and first it would have tried to connect to DBus, meaning you should have seen diagnostics from xscreensaver-systemd instead: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/-/blob/2969f0b1ddb60ccda2989c6da6977ab51c75dfd7/src/xfce-screensaver.c#L233 Is xscreensaver-systemd not running for you? -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com
