Hi, I'm running Debian Sid with XFCE. Xscreensaver used to work, but a number of months ago, it broke badly: it now fails to fails to activate via the "Preview" button or (more importantly) via the "Blank after" setting. It does still work via direct activation via "xscreensaver-command" (and it is successfully activated by the system upon suspend-to-ram).
I filed a bug about this, but subsequent to an interesting discussion of the architecture of the software and its Debian packaging, the maintainer closed the bug as unreproducible. The issues raised in the bug discussion do not seem to apply to my system, but xscreensaver nevertheless remains broken here. Can anyone help me figure this out? -- Celejar
