Disable xfce4 screensaver rather than light-locker (add user docs) #2128

Started a new xfce session by logging out then in again. |
Still locking after ~10 minutes. |
There is this bug report which suggests there was an issue in xfce4-session<4.18 and we have xfce4-session==4.16. |
I think we are comfortable with this though because users will always be on a client machine that they can lock. Actually, that is a bad idea. The screen blanks and you are unable to unlock it 😱. |
Can you add it to the user guide as part of this PR? Ideally, after merging #2130. |
Yep, just testing that it works now. |
