A patch to add support for xfce Desktop Environment running gnome-screensaver

Although xdg-screensaver detects xfce DE correctly, but it doesn't take any
action on that DE, making it broken.

My findings, so far, is that:
(1) on Linpus Linux Lite (based on Fedora 8, used on Acer Aspire One), xfce is
used with gnome-screensaver.
(2) on Mandriva with xfce Desktop Environment, xscreensaver is used.

So, when xfce is the Desktop Environment, there is probably no default
ScreenSaver to be "hard coded".

This patch adds support to xdg-screensaver for xfce Desktop Environment running
gnome-screensaver.

I also make sure that xscreensaver detection happens first, so that existing
xscreensaver support for the remaining of the Desktop Environments (including
xfce) is preserved.
