Package: xscreensaver
Version: 6.06+dfsg1-2
Severity: important
Since upgrading to 6.06+dfsg1-2, I have been unable to run
xscreensaver-settings or xscreensaver-demo. The main xscreensaver
binary still runs and works correctly; however, I can no longer
configure which screensavers show up except by editing .xscreensaver by
hand. So marking this as important.
Here's the typical output from xscreensaver-settings:
xscreensaver-settings: 15:24:45: X error:
xscreensaver-settings: Failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter
attributes)
xscreensaver-settings: Major opcode: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
xscreensaver-settings: Resource id: 0x1800007
xscreensaver-settings: Serial number: 440 / 441
Here's the output from xscreensaver-settings --debug:

I found bug #1030659, which seems to be related to this issue (it also
has the X_SetInputFocus error), but in my case there is no segfault so I
decided to file a separate bug.
