Xfce Screensaver 0.1.0 Released

by

I am pleased to announce the release of Xfce Screensaver 0.1.0, an early release targeted at testers and translators. Bugs and patches are welcome!

Xfce Screensaver is a screen saver and locker that aims to have simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the Xfce desktop. It is a port of MATE Screensaver, which is itself a port of GNOME Screensaver. It has been tightly integrated with the Xfce desktop, utilizing Xfce libraries and the Xfconf configuration backend.
