I upgraded yesterday and everything seems to be working great. I'm a
little confused regarding screensaver. I'm using xscreensaver within
fluxbox and that always seems to work fine. Is that using alternate
methods when dbus isn't in use? I have almost as little desire to use
dbus as I do for systemd frankly.
