Description:
If the command xprop is not available it is impossible to unlock the cinnamon-screensaver because it freezes. Installing xorg-xprop fixes this issue, so it should be a dependency.

Steps to reproduce:
* Install cinnamon-screensaver and ensure xorg-xprop is not installed
* Wait until the screensaver is running
* Try to unlock

xprop is often pulled in by xdg-utils [1]...which cinnamon doesn't appear to depend on.
