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.
