I've been seeing it too in 20.04 (Focal), using NVIDIA binary drives and

screen. It seems that moving the mouse pointer over the time corrects it

I used usb-creator-gtk to write “ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso”
from releases.ubuntu.com to a 4 GB USB stick, upon which I was given the
option to test the disk. The ISO file is uncorrupted and matches the
SHA256sum given on the site. When I attempted the test, the
I hit this upon manually installing Xfce4 after a fresh Ubuntu 20.04
installation. And even though Thunar has a Recommends for
policykit-1-gnome, it nonetheless was not installed when Thunar was
installed for some reason, and I had to install it manually anyway.

It appears what's going on (in my observed case, at least) is that the
xfce4 package depends on xfce4-session, which pulls in light-locker as a
Recommends, which in turn pulls in lightdm as a dependency. And when
Xfce searches for a screen locker to use, it seems to discover light-
locker first
After installing the xfce4 packages in Ubuntu 20.04 and starting a xfce4
session from the default bootup login screen, I immediately get a
similar crash notification. If I launch light-locker from a terminal, I
get the following output:
$ light-locker

I disagree with closing this as “WORKSFORME”. Just because core Firefox
plastered over the problem does not mean it's not an issue for other
cases. I have at least one Firefox add-on that continues to display
unreadable text because this bug causes the CSS InfoBackground and
InfoText values in
I'm seeing the same sort of compilation errors for the VirtualBox

I got hit by this too a while back. I don't expect a simple system

My experience agrees. I've found it imperative to upgrade the script on
a regular basis to ensure it keeps working. YouTube messes with stuff
all the time, and it's rarely long before an outdated version breaks. I

It took me forever to track this problem to unclutter. It was driving me
crazy (the cursor blinking gave me false cues as to which window was
focused and regularly caused me to begin typing in unintended windows).
Another solution might be to use a rewrite of unclutter that uses X's xfixes
