Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.04-2
Severity: important
Hello,
thanks for maintaining xscreensaver.
Here's a scenario, which is dangerous as it leads to a laptop being
suspended with the screen unlocked:
1. For whatever reason, xscreensaver is not running
2. Open gnome-terminal and run xscreensaver-demo
3. xscreensaver-demo offers to run the xscreensaver daemon, tell it to
do so, then close xscreensaver-demo
4. After a while, you notice that xscreensaver is flooding the terminal
with debugging output: this makes that terminal useless, so close it
to reduce clutter.
5. Suspend the laptop: you notice that the screen does not fade to
black. ps shows "xscreensaver-command -lock", but nothing happens.
Eventually, the rest of the suspend procedure kicks in and the
laptop gets suspended.
6. Unsuspend. Ouch, the laptop is not locked. Luckily, I did not
leave it unattended.
The workaround I'm using so far is to restart xscreensaver from a
terminal that then I keep iconised away.
Ciao,
Enrico

Hi Enrico, this is something that upstream fixed in 5.05-1 so I will
just close it from > 5.05-1.
Thanks for your report anyway, I hope will inform another users of this
old versions that this is already fixed and can upgrade to the fully
working version.
Regards.
