I managed to get rid of this weird behavior by undoing changes I made to my power and display management, because for some reason I would never get the proper behavior with xscreensaver. For example when watching a video the screen would eventually lock itself if I don't press keys... That seems to work better with xfce4-screensaver, I have yet to witness this while watching a video with the laptop unplugged and running solely on battery. > It happened once, and when it did I could no longer use the > keyboard. If anyone is running into this my workaround was to click > "Switch User" and enter my ongoing session from there. I was also able to reproduce this bug! My Xfce is set up to lock the screen when the lid is closed, but if I have a right-click context menu open when I close the lid, the screen won't lock. As soon as the context menu is gone the screen locks and I can no longer use my keyboard without my workaround. I also use docky^Wplank and once that happens, plank no longer sees open windows of a given application and clicking an application icon always launches a new instance. Even with that, for my usage xfce4-screensaver is already a net benefit over xscreensaver!
