Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.

In my ~/.xsession-errors there is nothing about the screensaver I think, but I attach it.
I see that it should start, though according to "ps aux" there is no xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver process.

Yes, the plugin only calls the script, you are right.
I see, that xfce4-utils recommends that, and it's ok, but anyway, if for some reason, xscreensaver (or gnome-screensaver) isn't running, and the user try to lock the screen, and can't, he doesn't have any idea, why. So some warning, if none of the 3 programs are found by xflock4 would be useful, (if it can be done).
