I think that's what's running, but I also thought that the LXDE logo
comes up in some of the screen savers. I don't recall tampering with
this feature, I think it's just doing its default things.

When I bring up Preferences > Power Manager the window
title bar says Xfce Power Manager. That is set to blank after 2 minutes,
put to sleep after 3 minutes and switch off after 4 minutes, none of
which seem to happen.

Now we might be getting somewhere. It reports:

Seems like the key line is the last one, but I don't understand why the
power manager control panel didn't do anything.

Many thanks!
