This is not an answer to bug report but rather a comment and alternate suggestion: Since I do not need a screen saver (graphics) but do want a screen locker I did the following for my Fedora 27 install.
Remove xscreensaver then set power settings in xfce tool: # dnf autoremove xscreensaver xfce4-power-manager-settings Add simple screen locker & check settings: # dnf install slock (read man page to finish config) Applications > Settings > Session & Startup > Advanced tab: Y = Lock screen before sleep Applications > Settings > Power Manager > System tab: Y = Lock screen when system is going to sleep +++ Press Ctrl+Alt+l which is mapped to the xflock4 script which looks for and runs slock. After using slock to lock the screen, type your password the [Enter] to unlock. There is no password dialogue box. While typing your password the screen will be blue. If an incorrect password is typed the screen turn red ... so try again.
