Reopening, as I have finally managed to reproduce this bug. It occurs
for me when the title of a full screen window (the window for which
Caffeine inhibits idleness) contains a non-ASCII character. This causes
an error in the embedded Perl script in xdg-screensaver, in the
subroutine screensaver_gn
Here is the upstream xdg-utils bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg
/xdg-utils/-/issues/137
There is a patch for it, so xdg-utils should be patched in
Ubuntu/Debian. I will look into this.
