Some people deal with situations where such a feature is valuable. Why
should they not explore the best way to do what needs to be done? It has
nothing to do with saving keystrokes. It has to do with no one being
present to make those keystrokes. On Mon, 2013-03-18 at 10:37 -0400, drew Roberts

By not using a display manager for login, but by starting Xfce
by .xinitrc directly or what needs to be used to start it +
screensaver, e.g. gdmflexiserver or xscreensaver-command -lock or
similar, I won't make inquires now, but there for sure is a way to do
it.
