I installed the xfce Fedora 10 spin a few weeks ago and I'm quite
pleased with it. However, I have encountered an annoying bug with
the screen saver. Each time I log in, I have to open the xfce
Settings Manager, pick Screensaver. close the Gnome screensaver
daemon and open the xscreensaver daemon. If I don't, I get the
default Gnome behavior of a black screen with a login window. Ugly
and not necessary. What do I have to do to avoid this nuisance?

Check your 'autostarted applications' and make sure gnome-screensaver
is not in there.

Make sure you logout and select 'save session' after closing it.

As a final thing to try you could remove the gnome-screensaver
package.

Kevin:
Removing the gnome-screensaver package did the trick. Thank you.
