xdg-screensaver breaks xautolock?

When xdg-screensaver is called by a programme, in my case mpv, xautolock breaks.
xautolock is started in ~/.config/openbox/autostart
What am i doing wrong? How can I check where the problem is?

  [b]me ~ $[/b] xautolock -enable          # just to show that I get no error messages
  [b]me ~ $[/b] xdg-screensaver reset      # envoke it manually and then ..
  [b]me ~ $[/b] xautolock -enable
  Could not locate a running xautolock.
  [b]me ~ $[/b] ps aux | grep [x]autolock
  me        568  0.0  0.0  20116  1036 ?        S    15:10   0:00 xautolock -time 5 -locker systemctl suspend -detectsleep -corners ---- -notify 30 -notifier notify-send -u critical -t 10000 -- 'zzz in 30"'

Re: xdg-screensaver breaks xautolock?

xdg-screensaver reset runs xautolock -restart.

$ xautolock -enable
$ xautolock -restart
$ xautolock -enable
Could not locate a running xautolock.
$ ps ax | grep autolock
31909 pts/5    S+     0:00 xautolock

This seems to be a xautolock problem.
