change monitor-settings to match my [weird] vertical setup (one monitor above other)
my left open pcmanfm-qt & firefox windows got pushed [mostly] off screen, but i was able to drag back correctly...
..
screensaver changed to 1 min, it runs only on top display (not bottom which was right before arrangement altered), which continues to display counter of vlc playing music... ie. not hidden - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/1814490

i adjusted monitor-settings back to left-right configuraton (as it was when booted) & re-did some of the above bug-report tests, the screensaver did not correct itself, with 2nd monitor unhidden & vlc counter continued counting up as played mp3, & muted firefox kept streaming abc news 24 (au news).. both monitors are dimming before screensaver draws, then bottom/right monitor resumed to display of firefox streaming news & part of vlc visible showing time-position of mp3... i've restarted screensaver-daemon & waiting... restart made no difference. logging out & back in.. (monitors left-right arrangement as like when booted, but changed a 2(+) times... this time both screens are covered by screensaver!!!
