If this helps anyone, my comment is: I don't use screensavers either, so as described above, in XFCE's Power Manager, Display tab, I set 'Blank after' to 'Never', 'Put to sleep after' to 'Never', 'Switch off after' to 'Never, and then I select the "Display power management" slider to off.
In XFCE's Session and Startup, General tab, I unchecked "Lock screen before sleep".
I cannot remember making any other changes that are relevant to screen savers or power management.
I made these settings a year or so go, I have not had need to reapply these settings (after updates or power off/on), and my screen does not go blank while I am using my computer, my two monitors just continue to show my linux screens.
