 +===== Why doesn't the screensaver/lock screen activate when I attempt to lock my computer?  =====
 +
 +You are likely running an unpatched xflock4, which does not know about xfce4-screensaver.\\
 +This has been [[https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/commit/?id=baf23e096da712084e54b47faa49c1ca99665b75|resolved upstream]], but will need to be manually added until the next Xfce Session release.
 +
 +All you need to do is add ''xfce4-screensaver-command --lock'' to the available lock commands.
 +<code>
 +$ cat /usr/bin/xflock4
 +
 +PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
 +export PATH
 +
 +# Lock by xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver, if a respective daemon is running
 +for lock_cmd in \
 +    "xfce4-screensaver-command --lock" \
 +    "xscreensaver-command -lock" \
 +    "light-locker-command --lock" \
 +    "gnome-screensaver-command --lock"
 +do
 +    $lock_cmd >/dev/null 2>&1 && exit
 +done
 +
 +</code>
