disregarded as long as xscreensaver (the daemon program) is not started which is the default setup. I suggest xfce4-power-manager should handle adding xscreensaver to xfce's  autostarted appilcations, instead of leaving it up to the user to setup xscreensaver. At least there should be a warning, that the settings regarding locking are effectively useless without having xscreensaver running.

I think shere should also be a dependency added (in this package for xscreensaver) as it is anticipated for a system to be locked when waking up from standby...
