Soooo, what do I remove to absolutely, permanently disable the

Seems like, in XFCE, you need to go into settings and disable the
screensaver.
If this helps anyone, my comment is: I don't use screensavers
either, so as described above, in XFCE's Power Manager, Display tab, I
set 'Blank after' to 'Never', 'Put to sleep after' to 'Never', 'Switch
off after' to 'Never, and then I select the "Display power management"
slider to off.
In XFCE's Session and Startup, General tab, I unchecked "Lock screen
before sleep".
I cannot remember making any other changes that are relevant to screen
savers or power management.
I made these settings a year or so go, I have not had need to reapply
these settings (after updates or power off/on), and my screen does not
go blank while I am using my computer, my two monitors just continue
to show my linux screens.
And so should we assume Gene's report that he needs to actually login
again after the screen locks itself is likely caused by confusing the
unlocking screen with a login screen? Being DE-less, I haven't seen
either screen, and am unable to make a judgment, but several webpages
mentioned that confusion.
Cheers,
David.
Which is exactly the advice I needed. Thank you!
