Xfce Screensaver 0.1.4 Released

With numerous performance improvements and an improved low-power resource footprint, Xfce Screensaver 0.1.4 continues improving screen locking on Xfce.

What’s New?

Features

• We have added support for screen locking when the system goes to sleep (Xfce #15001) via a shared preference with Xfce Power Manager. To accommodate this, a new configuration option, “Lock Screen with System Sleep,” was added to the Screensaver Preferences dialog.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed password entry after forcefully grabbing input focus (Xfce #15042)

General

• Faster screen locking when activated
• Faster rendering of the authentication prompt
• Improved handling of monitor (dis-)connection events
• Improved screensaver and locking activation when idle
• Improved laptop lid support: The lock screen is now displayed immediately when the laptop lid is open instead of requiring a wake event from the keyboard or mouse
• Improved low-power state: Screensavers are now suspended when monitors are powered off via DPMS (Debian #921835)
