Would that also cause the problem with xscreensaver-command -exit, where
xscreensaver exits (according to job control), but xscreensaver-command
sits and times out without getting a response from xscreensaver?

Any idea how to figure out what it is that's causing the problem?  I'm
not running all that much; typically sawfish, xcompmgr, conky, pidgin,
xterm, emacs and iceweasel.  And the problem occurs even when I kill
everything but sawfish and an xterm.  A 'ps -u nowan' shows a few other
things (e.g., dbus & gconf stuff for pidgin, ssh-agent, and zsh and
screen processes).  I'm using xdm and the non-free nvidia driver.

By the way, a correction to my original bug report: the keyboard stops
working while xscreensaver is attempting to lock, but not the mouse.
