I have played around with xfce desktop, but it seems not enough. This would be a good thread to ask for questions and get answer on this good looking desktop.
Here is a first question:
Where is the screensaver settings in xfce porteus? I do not find it, this thread does not have the answer:

Re: xfce fine tuning: questions and answers
You may need to install xscreensaver. I included it in the 32bit edition Razor. I am downloading 32bit XFCE version so not sure if it made the package list.
How do i become super user?

Re: xfce fine tuning: questions and answers
Xcreensaver is not included with the default xfce iso. It uses monitor blanking for power saving and slock for screen locking. I found xscreensaver to be too large and not very pretty given that it is not necessary. If users really want to have it included by default, I can pull it in for future releases.
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

Re: xfce fine tuning: questions and answers
My question in the first post is still valuable. Is there any screensaver in xfce?

Re: xfce fine tuning: questions and answers
There is no screensaver included in the xfce iso's. I think xfce4-screensaver-settings is a gui configuration tool for xscreensaver, and it would still require xscreensaver, so that package is not included, either. They could be added by the user.
