Package: xidle
Version: 20200802
Severity: important
Wanting to replace xscreensaver with something better, I took a look
at xidle. Unfortunately, the simple call
```
xidle -program /usr/bin/xsecurelock -timeout 5
```
doesn't cause `xsecurelock` to be spawned after 5 seconds. According
to `strace`, the tool just sits there and waits on FD 3 for an event
that never comes. XScreensaver is no longer running. I am using
X.org with the Awesome window manager.
strace:
```
