Public bug reported:
Hello,
when I resume from suspend to RAM or disk, or just standby, I get a
password prompt. After entering this, I get a totally blank screen, not
even a mouse cursor, when xscreensaver is installed. The system did not
crash - i can login remotely, or force-restart the X11 server (ctrl-alt-
backspace), and I once even saw a yellow Gnome notification popup about
my battery being almost empty - but I don't see my desktop and I don't
see a mouse pointer.
Removing this package (and the -gl package) solves this, but IMHO it's
not obvious - I installed the xscreensaver package because I wanted more
choice regarding the screensaver modules.
Perhaps this can be fixed, or alternatively I would propse the
xscreensaver package to be removed, at least until this is resolved. Not
being able to login after the screensaver activates is a serious bug,
IMHO.
