I can confirm this still exists. It's also definitely a security vulnerability. I just came back from the weekend and found my work machine completely unlocked, open, and accessible. Like many users in my place, this is completely unacceptable and dangerous. I have no choice but to stop using xscreensaver now.
I'm running xscreensaver 5.34, and Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966129 Title: Xscreensaver daemon crash returned to unlocked desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/966129/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
