Description:

Xscreensaver is not working after suspend (running Mate DE).

I can't even figure which components are involved in the process of starting the screensaver before/after suspend, lest where it goes wrong. Systemd is supposed to notify xscreensaver (somehow) about the suspend, but no idea why it is throttled but not unthrottled again.

Anyone a clue?

Additional info:
* package version(s)

xscreensaver 5.44-3
systemd 247.2-1
mate-desktop 1.24.1-1
mate-power-manager 1.24.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

Install Mate desktop.
Remove mate-screensaver package (if present).
Install xscreensaver.
Enable lock/lockTimeout in .xscreensaver (or via xscreensaver-demo dialog)
Run xscreensaver in terminal
Suspend computer ('sudo /usr/bin/systemctl suspend' or close laptop lid)
Wake up computer (press key, mouse button, open laptop lid, ...)

Result:
Xscreensaver has screen locked, but screensaver (graphics animation) is not starting
In the top left corner a message appears 'not starting hack (throttled)'
This task depends upon

I should remark, that meanwhile I switched to the beta version of the upcoming version 6 (6.00b2). According to the developer the involved logic has been significantly changed. With this version it works for me as expected.
