light-locker core dumps

Per this suggestion to uninstall xscreensaver and install light-locker, I decided to give this a whirl using the latest xfce4 packages.  I find light-locker core dumping when I try to use it.  Anyone else?

% light-locker
process 1737: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1340.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
[1]    1737 abort (core dumped)  light-locker

EDIT: this has nothing to do with the xfce4 packages in [testing].  I get the same error using 4.10 from [extra].

Re: light-locker core dumps

I installed this and tried it on 2 separate laptops for you and got the same error on both.  One has testing and community testing repository enabled and the other doesn't but exactly the same error on both.  Newbie to linux but hope that helps.

Moved from testing by request.  Graysky, I picked Applications and Desktop Environments.  Let us know if you've another suggestion.

Moving to Applications & Desktop Environments as this is unrelated to [testing].

Edit: I am slow.   Hi Eric.
