[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 19.10, Settings power management for screen overruled or ignored

[Wiebe van der Worp]

Hi all, I've updated from 19.04 to 19.10. Seems to work fine but I 
haven't figured out yet why "XFCE Power Manager" settings are ignored.

System turns off monitor and asks for password - which I turned off in 
19.04 and worked fine then.

Situation "XFCE Power Manager" now:
Security tab: Never lock the session.
Display : All sliders to "Never"
Yet, these settings are ignored.

Running command xfce4-screensaver-preferences states in tab "Lock 
Screen": "enabled". Contrary to above.

It took me a while to figure out xfce4-screensaver-preferences was the 
way to go, thought it might be good to share it.
