Just in case any of you are interested in Recreating this, Install
Bullseye, with xfce4 as Window Manager.
Go to Power Settings. /  Display.
For my test, I used 2 minutes on "Blank after", 5 Minutes for "Put to
sleep", and 9 minutes for "Switch off".

Then, I come back in about 15 minutes.  :-)

I get a Flash, with something I might recognize as a Screen.  and then
Screen off.  This is that OTHER Desktop, an HP Pavilion Desktop with an LG
IPS 22MP56 Monitor.

Now, at this point, I *am* going to Purge light-locker on that Machine and
let it go to Power Save again.  I am also pondering the Xorg.0.log to see
if something obvious stands out.

I'll be back.  Thanks as always,

Kenneth Parker
