Oh, for fuck's sake, this is why I have, for years now, requested that Debian simply *stop shipping XScreenSaver*. I am so sick to death of this continuous bullshit of "well, there's a bug in your software from two years and six releases ago." To Debian as a whole, please, I beg of you, stop wasting my fucking time with this bullshit. To Sergio: before you submit a bug report in anything, UPGRADE. Not to the version that some slacking upstream asshat has made easily available to you, but to the ACTUAL LATEST VERSION. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/04/i-would-like-debian-to-stop-shipping-xscreensaver/ -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com

(It seems to > have connections to DBus instead.) Huh. Well, xscreensaver-systemd calls XOpenDisplay specifically to make this happen, and when I run xscreensaver-systemd and then kill the X server, I get this: # ./xscreensaver-systemd -v xscreensaver-systemd: 02:07:08: registered as "org.jwz.XScreenSaver" xscreensaver-systemd: 02:07:08: registered as "org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver" xscreensaver-systemd: 02:07:08: "org.gnome.SessionManager" not in use xscreensaver-systemd: 02:07:08: "org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.PolicyAgent" not in use [ kill server ] xscreensaver-systemd: 02:07:26: X connection closed Exit 1 -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com

I don't see how this is possible. When the user logs out, the X server exits. The display connection that both xscreensaver and xscreensaver-systemd have open will close with SIGPIPE. Send logs. -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com
