XFCE4-ScreenSaver doesnt work after a sleep/resume

hey all,

does anyone use xfce4 with xfce4-screensaver?

with my laptop it only seems to work correctly if the laptop hasnt gone to sleep, once it has sleept it will not work again once it wakes until a reboot.

I can evoke the screensaver as many times manually as i want or leave it to auto engage after 5 minutes of inactivity but as soon as the laptop has a nap the screensaver will not auto engage or start if i press the hotkey or click lock.

can anyone please assist with diagnosing and resolving the issue? Thanks

EDIT : i should also add that the laptop is not locked when its woken up from sleep even though its set to lock as soon as the screensaver is engaged.

Not sure if related, but I had the issue of running 2 screensavers when the, apparently now built-in with xfce-4.14 came, so I needed to disable my xscreensaver. Otherwise I did run into issues like not being able to type the password in the password-box of xfce4-screensaver when trying to unlock.
