Hi friends, I am using xubuntu 12.04. I updated to XFCE4.10.
Can anyone please tell me what is difference between power management (from settings manager) and power management from Screensaver advanced tab?

I may stand to be corrected but I believe the Power Manager one is in relation to the hardware / bios / sleep & hibernate states of the PC, whilst the screensaver options for power management are "software controlled" actions for blanking the screen in X (e.g. xset dpms)

My preference is to have no screen blanking or screen saver and I found I need to disable (change to never or untick) in both places to get this setup.
