XScreensaver randomly popping up

[fiftyfour...@gmail.com]

Has anyone else experienced the screensaver/lock-screen popping up in the middle of typing? 

I had this happen to me twice while typing in dom0 (the second time, I was in the middle of typing 'qvm-shutdown debian-10'), so I went and checked all of the XFCE and Qubes shortcuts to ensure that I didn't hit some shortcut by accident. The default keys were ctrl-alt-del and ctrl-alt-L, along with some xf86 shortcuts, so my fingers were nowhere near the keys.

Also, since I started a thread, I also want to ask whether SHA1 or other deprecated algorithms are used in the PGP verification of dom0 and domu updates. This is somewhat related to my original question.

Hi I had/had the problem with qubes 3.2, which is very annoying.

Funny thing: you can trick xscreensaver by switching the desktop

if you have multiple desktops, which leads to odd/funny user

experience of locked screen, that shows desktop and is usable,

if you force it to redraw windows by moving windows and the like....

Does ist feel the same?

Not quite, but multiple desktops might possibly have something to do with it.

In my situation I'm actively using whatever desktop is on the screen and the screensaver pops up or the screen locks (can't tell, since both are the same)

Just earlier it did it again--this time when I was reading the output of xentop maximized with another terminal on top of it (i.e. not typing anything)
