Thanks. That variety script was from an old version of variety, it seems. I removed that and checked that the current scripts in /usr/share/variety/scripts do not have that bug (looked like an operation on a shell variable that may not exist). I did notice a few variety crashes, but they do not seem to coincide with screenlock failure.
I did have "clipboard indicator" and "media player indicator" enabled. Disabled those. Will see what happens. I can uninstall variety if I see more issues with that.
