Xfce screensaver settings say "Lock the screen after the screensaver is active for:" This may seem more logical if the setting was in seconds. For example, after 20 seconds of screensaver, lock the screen. This allows me to quickly move the mouse if the screensaver accidentally goes on without having to unlock and at the same time not have the timeout be a while minute. I may think a while minute of screensaver without lock is a bit long.
The same goes for "After blanking, put display to sleep after" on the "Blank screen" theme. I'd like to set the interval down to seconds. Even better would be if '0' was actually 0 and not disabled. Thanks!
As for haarp's suggestion, it is important to have an option not to put display to sleep because some drivers/monitors may have issues with DPMS states.
