I think the bug I experienced over the last month or two is linked to
this. Often I would get back to the login screen in stead of the unlock
screen after screen saver was activated (screen would be switched off at
already at that time). This means all the programs in my session is
closed. At first I thought the PC rebooted for some reason, but after
checking process times (TIME+ in top), I determined the computer could
not have rebooted. I then tried to find the screensaver that caused this
(because I was using random screen saver). I would use a specific
screensaver for a day or two and after using the first 6, the problem
occurred on 50% of them. I don't know whether this would help, but it
seems to me that the user session is terminated if there is an invalid
exit condition on the screen saver. Would it not be possible to catch
and log screen saver errors without loosing the user session?
