I discovered that if I run xfce desktop that I have on here for thunar file

AFAIK, xfce now has its own internal screensaver, it stopped
using xscreensaver a release or 2 ago.

I can???t run xscreensaver-settings under fvwm. The screensavers work though.

Any suggestions? It said something about conflicting with xfce4-screensaver
or something too.

Interesting, on cwm xscreensaver-settings works OK, on fvwm it fails with:

xscreensaver-demo: 09:19:14: X error:
xscreensaver-demo:   Failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
xscreensaver-demo:   Major opcode:   42 (X_SetInputFocus)
xscreensaver-demo:   Resource id:    0x2000003
xscreensaver-demo:   Serial number:  447 / 449

I think it is time for you to connect with people in mailing
list po...@openbsd.org and/or search the archive in case
someone already noticed this.

It looks like an issue with xscreensaver and fvwm.
