[SOLVED] XFCE screen locker stopped working - May 25 update

Anyone else having this issue?
System running slackware64 current and XFCE (kde not installed, xscreensaver not installed),
screen locker no longer works as of May 25 update,
reverting libxfce4ui to 4.18.3 seems to fix it. Issue can be reproduced in a Qemu VM as well.

Thu May 25 00:24:33 UTC 2023 ... xfce/libxfce4ui-4.18.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Now that you mention it, yeah... Can't lock the screen.

It seems that with the recent libxfce4ui commits, this part is now required:

xfce4-screensaver.SlackBuild

...
# Don't ship autostart file. This will start without it.
rm -f $PKG/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-screensaver.desktop
rmdir $PKG/etc/xdg/autostart
...

At least, it works here with libxfce4ui 4.18.4 and xfce4-screensaver recompiled with the .desktop file

What works for me:
- same as dr.s : libxfce4ui 4.18.3 + xfce4-screensaver
or : libxfce4ui 4.18.4 + xfce4-screensaver recompiled with .desktop file

Solved

Thx Pat !
