Like many others, I use XScreensaver to lock my screen while I'm away from my desk (at work). I have ssh keys unlocked, active sessions, etc., that are confidential, etc. Two times in a week, XScreensaver has crashed, leaving my screen unlocked.

I'm not sure how to provide logs and such for XScreensaver, but tell me what to do and I'll try to catch it in the act.

xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.2-1
xorg-server 1.12.4-1 (xorg)
xorg-server-common 1.12.4-1
xlockmore 5.40-1
xscreensaver 5.19-1
This task depends upon

dmesg shows errors sometime. You could also look in /var/log/errors.log

Xscreensaver output may be found in .xsession-errors or the console if you're not using a display manager.

Maybe it’s rough but is there a way to get a debug version of XScreensaver and run it in gdb?

Do you still get crashes with xscreensaver 5.20-1 ?
