Bug Description

Running XFCE 4.4.0 on an up-to-date Feisty install, not sure what package handles this kinda stuff. I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper last year, then Dapper to Edgy to Feisty in a couple of runs (various errors happened during the process, but it seems fine now apart from this).
If this isn't a real bug and someone knows how to reconfigure XFCE or what package I need to install, let me know.

Steps to reproduce on my machine:
1. Navigate to and select menu entry Xfce -> Settings -> Screensaver settings
2. Observe alert box stating 'Xfce Settings Manager error: No such pluging "screensaver"'
3. Weep in sorrow.

Is the xfce4-utils package installed?

(and this should be fixed in gutsy, we switched to gnome-screensaver.)

Yes, and this is definitely fixed for me now in Gutsy, as you say.

Although it's missing an icon in that settings manager for me... I cycled through all the icon themes and none of them have an icon for every item in the settings manager dialogue. But that's another matter.

Thanks,
Oisín
