Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 4.16.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I did a miminal install of xfce, i.e. "apt-get install xfce4", which
did NOT install xfce4-power-manager.
The resulting system had screen blank configured to activate after
10 minutes, but there was no settings panel to adjust or disable
this.
After a lot of googling and trial-and-error I discovered that the
display power management settings are part of this xfce4-power-manager
package. After installing this, I was able to adjust the timeouts.
It seems to me that (1) maybe screen blank settings should be installed
as part of a default xfce4 install, and/or (2) if the screen blank
settings panel is not installed, then screen blank should be disabled
by default.
Regards, Phil.

Hey,
I think screen blank is actually set by Xorg, not by Xfce. xfce4-power-manager
is mostly useful on laptops and that's why the installation is not enforced,
but rather suggested by xfce4.
Note that for default installs (with Debian installer) or if you uses tasks,
xfce4-power-manager *is* installed.
If you apt install xfce4 you're likely a power user wanting a minimal install,
and thus it's intended to be lightweight.
I'm not considering this as a bug since it's as intended, and I'm thus closing
this.
Regards,
