Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.03-2
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


Ever since switching to a Dell flat-screen (2007FPb - I was previously
using a CRT) I've experienced a problem where:
 * I lock my X session,
 * I switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.), which (because I
   touched the keyboard) provokes the password dialog to come up,
 * I don't switch back to the X display before the password dialog
   times out,
 * when I *do* switch back to the X display, my X session dies.

Note that the X session is still up and running *before* I Ctrl+Alt+F7
back to try to resume it (as revealed by ps in my virtual console, and
by the time-stamp on my .xsession-error).
My .xsession-errors ends in: <quote>

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
Error: Can't open display
Exiting from getDisplay.cpp at line 47

</quote>

If I hold Ctrl+Alt until the blue time-out bar has all gone away, in
the password dialog, and hit F5 while the "authentication failed"
dialog is displayed, the X session dies.  Holding Ctrl+Alt a bit
longer, until even this dialog has gone, *then* hitting F5 changes
console for me, without hurting the X session.

Leaving the X session unlocked, switching to a virtual console and
remaining there until the screen-saver locks the screen due to its
usual time-outs doesn't provoke the problem.  If I lock my X session
by selecting the relevant root-window menu item and quickly (before
the lock has come into force, so that the password dialog doesn't get
activated) Ctrl+Alt+F5 away, the X session survives.

Usually, xdm manages to start a new X session after mine has died, but
not always.  When it doesn't, Ctrl+Alt+F7 shows me

INIT: version 2.86 reloading

Naturally, applications that I've left active in my X session get
hosed by the X session's death, taking with them any unsaved data;
hence the "data loss" category for this bug.

It's not clear to me which of several pieces of software is the culprit.
I'm using fvwm as my window manager and xscreensaver as screen saver.
The root window within fvwm is displaying xplanet.
The virtual consoles run getty; the X session is managed by xdm.
However, xscreensaver's password prompt seems pivotal.
