I think I found the problem but I'm still not 100% sure. Its the "fade to black when blanking" of xscreensaver. When my laptop goes to sleep, it issues lock command which in turn will sometimes will fade the screen. I think its a bug of the fading. I disabled this feature. I'll see if it happens again.
