xfce4-screensaver crashes

Hello

I'm using i3wm with: xfce4-power-manager & xfce4-screensaver, both are launched at login.

When I run "systemctl suspend" then xfce4-screensaver will crash and on wake-from-suspend I just get taken to my desktop without any prompr for login. BUT when the computer suspends due to xfce4-power-manager time trheshold, then xfce4-screensaver wont crash and screen is locked on wake from suspend. OR when I run "xfce4-screensaver-command -l && systemctl suspend" it works.

Here's what happens. Now I kill any previous running xfce4-screensaver and start a new process on terminal with debug, then on a separate terminal I'm going to run "systemctl suspend", here's what happens:

$ xfce4-screensaver --debug

(xfce4-screensaver:77927): Gdk-WARNING **: 01:50:20.204: The program 'xfce4-screensaver' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 573 error_code 3 request_code 131 (XInputExtension) minor_code 40)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Also, when I run "xfce4-screensaver-command -l", after i unlock it, then my cursor becomes a "loading" cursor when hovered on the desktop. This is i3 signaling there's some bacground process that is struggling (sorry, I know it's not that simple). I've disabled any other app but xfce4-screensaver, confirming it's due to this one.

I'm running:
xfce4-screensaver 4.20.1
Xfce Power Manager 4.20.0

Thanks all

Re: xfce4-screensaver crashes

When I follow your steps, and when I run xfce4-screensaver in debug mode, I get (from the beginning of the log file):

[gs_debug_init] ../src/gs-debug.c:111 (21:28:57.269):	 Debugging enabled
[main] ../src/xfce4-screensaver.c:112 (21:28:57.269):	 Initializing xfce4-screensaver 4.20.1-dev-2877e99
[init_session_id] ../src/gs-listener-dbus.c:2187 (21:28:57.280):	 Got session-id: /org/freedesktop/login1/session/_31
.....

Notice how I get a session-id and you do not.

Which distro are you using and how are you starting i3wm (display manager or startx)? If startx, what commands (.xinitrc?)

Request unlock but dialog is already up

This is odd as well - which I don't see in my logs.

Re: xfce4-screensaver crashes

Is the property /general/unredirect_overlays of the xfwm4 xfconf channel enabled? If so, disable it and see if the problem persists.

Oh, sorry, you're using i3. Well, it's probably something similar in its settings that's causing this.

Re: xfce4-screensaver crashes

The problem was that I was not using "--no-startup-id". This is the fix:

# set $i3lockwall xscreensaver-command -lock
set $i3lockwall xfce4-screensaver-command -l
# xfce4-screensaver needs to be executed with "no-startup-id"
bindsym $mod+l exec --no-startup-id $i3lockwall
