[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#866772: xfce4: can't unlock session, just blank screen with cursor flickering

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.12.3
Severity: important

When locking screen with Ctrl-Alt-Del and then after a while returning
to computer to log back in, I sometimes get completely black screen
with cursor flickering at the center of the screen. There is no login
dialog and moving mouse doesn't move cursor.

Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. do work to change to text terminal,
but I can't get back into X at all.

During this there is no output to ~/.xfce-session.verbose-log
or ~/.xsession-errors

I have two identical displays connected to computer mirroring each other.
Both displays have exactly same output.
