XFCE logs out even when light-locker is disabled.

Hello everybody.
I made a ThinClient operating system with XFCE and Debian.

Once in a while I get a user that says its system has logged out!
But how is this possible when I have done:

if [ -f /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop ]; then
    rm /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop # Prevent auto-locking due to autostart file.
fi

And

# Disable logout on screenlock and such things. (Unneeded without light-locker)
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -np '/xfce4-power-manager/lock-screen-suspend-hibernate' -t 'bool' -s 'false'
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -np '/xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch' -t 'bool' -s 'false'

But what can cause this?

ps -ef | grep -E 'locker|saver'
root        4553    4550  0 09:35 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -E locker|saver

This now bothers me, and I don't know where to start.
Restarting the system makes it autologin again, with Lightdm - but sometimes we get this call.

I would try and remove light-locker and replace it with xfce4-screensaver. Light-locker has been problematic.

Sorry to be such a noob and ask this. But how can I do that smoothly?

And since I don't want the locking at all, can't I just remove light-locker and go for nothing?

apt purge light-locker
apt install xfce4-screensaver

You will find it in the settings menu. You don't need to have a screen saver or lock activated. For instance, on my laptop, the screen blanks after a time or when I close the lip but it never logs me out. After I reopen it or touch the touchpad it's right where I left it.

That behaviour is exactly what I want. How can I get that as well. I remove light-locker without installing xfce4-screensaver. I hope that does the trick.

You can set the screensaver to Blank Screen and not lock. Also check the Power Manager foe these settings.
