===== Introduction =====
**Xfce Screensaver** is a screen saver and locker that aims to have simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop.

This project is a port of [[https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver|MATE Screensaver]], itself a port of [[https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-screensaver|GNOME Screensaver]].\\
It has been tightly integrated with the Xfce desktop, utilizing Xfce libraries and the Xfconf configuration backend.

==== Features ====
  * Integration with the Xfce desktop
  * Support for the xdg-screensaver standard
  * (optional) Integration with ConsoleKit and Systemd
  * DBUS interface for limited control and querying screensaver status
  * Idle time and inhibition state are based on the X11 Screensaver extension
  * No GNOME or MATE dependencies. Requirements are lightweight and shared with Xfce.
