Correct, I wasn't aware that libXScrnSaver-devel is just an alias for that.

Likely not, but it's up to you. The configuration option should also work.

What kind of constraints? And why should I think about them?

There you write:

You're describing your thought process, but we need a description of the

Do you mean "Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified"?
Then https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/blob/master/os/auth.c has
it.

But I'm not sure if this will help you. XSS idle detection should not block,
and it's not active in the package.
