I don't agree completely with setting this low importance: the current
systems menu let one set every other important aspect, and, as I said,
one can easily waste a lot of time, searching for it, because a lot of
the other menus look as they _could_ contain the screensaver setting
(view, desktop, I think about 3 or 4 ) - resulting in longer searching
without a result.
I am surely no Linux newbie, only an xfce newbie, and the only
workaround I found before getting the right google search was "killall
xscreensaver"

And to some people it is really annoying to have a screensaver started.

So, in relation to how easy it is probably to add a "screensaver" icon
to the setting menu, this bug should be normal importance (somehow I
didn't set that right, sorry).

I think I don't care so much for myself, now that I know the workaround,
and I probably will go back to using gnome soon, but it really gave me a
bad time - I only want to help making xubuntu-desktop get better!
