I recall looking in the bash script /usr/bin/startxfce4

OHHHH! It is solved.

I found this in the
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc

# Launch xscreensaver (if available), but only as non-root user
if test $UID -gt 0 -a -z "$VNCSESSION"; then
if test x"`which xscreensaver 2>/dev/null`" != x""; then
xscreensaver -no-splash &
elif test x"`which gnome-screensaver 2>/dev/null`" != x""; then
gnome-screensaver &
fi
fi

It seems like already existing from the time of arch system installed.
I hate this script because I can config it myself.
The autorun make gnome-screensaver print garbages in my LANG="zh_CN.utf8" environment.

Thank you very much indeed.There is no people could or would help me in chinese bbs.
