LXDE doesn't resume correctly after using 'xrandr' off/on

I'm using the 'xrandr --output eDP1 --off' and 'xrandr --output eDP1 --auto' commands to turn the screen on and off using hotkeys via openbox.

Here is what a screen looks like before turning it off:

And then this is what it looks like after turning on:

Also I have to kill some applications because they crash:

And then I can't access the desktop:

I've tried several variations of xrandr like specifying the resolution and refresh rate but it doesn't make a difference. I had this exact same setup on Fedora 20 LXDE and I was able to have the screen turn on and off without any disruption so I don't know why it would be different here.

edit: I've noticed everytime after turning the screen back on that pcmanfm hangs and I have to kill it, which I think is the source of the desktop session errors. Don't know why turning off the screen would mess up pcmanfm.
