You can always check the display settings on your System Settings tool.

I use KDE. For a long time KDE blanked out the screen, and all I had to 
do was move the mouse to un-blank it. Then came the locking option.

But then I installed the kde-screensaver package. (There's one for 
gnome, too; I don't know about XFCE or other desktops.) Then at last I 
could use the plethora of options I once had under xscreensaver. Only 
now they're built-in to System Settings and do not try to load as a 
separate terminate/stay-resident routine. I set my screensaver to 
display a slideshow, based on the same options I use to show a 
"slideshow wallpaper."

I also made sure to set screensaver on, and turn the lock off. (My 
computer is in a room that only I ever visit.)
