Hello, I'm running Xfce4 on a recent install of Sid. I have configured Xfce4 to "Lock screen before sleep" (in Session and Startup / General), but when I use xscreensaver, when resuming from suspend the screen is often visible for a brief period before xscreensaver kicks in. I have notseen this problem when using light-locker. ...I can't make out whether I have misconfigured something here, or whether this is a serious security bug in the current Xfce4 - xscreensaver integration.
I can't shed any light on the cause, but can report I see the same thing on a non-xfce system. I'm using lightdm and light-locker, then openbox, although am using some xfce utilities. Usually when booting up a flash of the previous user desktop is shown before the login window. Agreed, this is not desirable at all. The only possible culprit I can think of is xfdesktop4 - can you try booting to a session with that disabled? -- John
