xfce4-screensaver no longer locks automatically

[Raphael Mankin]

In unbuntu 20.04 I updated the software on 21/09/2022. Since then the screensaver no longer locks the screen automatically. I can still lock it manually with ctl-alt-L.

For me, this is a minor nuisance rather than a security issue; others may rate it otherwise.

I tracked this down - sort of. The update replaced xscreensaver (which works) with xfce4-screensaver (which does not).
