xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map

I'm having an intermittent problem when the computer doesn't fully suspend. It takes a while, but the computer usually wakes from the pseudo-suspended state, or sometimes I have to kill the power.

I'm not sure if this could be related. I'm using xscreenserver to lock my screen before suspending with:

xscreensaver-command --lock; systemctl suspend

Even when the computer actually suspends, I get the following output in the terminal:

$ xscreensaver-command --lock; systemctl suspend
xscreensaver-command: activating and locking.

xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map
xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map
xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map
...
xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map
xscreensaver-command: waiting for window 0x00c00023 to map
xscreensaver-command: Timed out waiting for screen to blank on 0x00c00023

I already removed the fadeout when locking.

Has anybody come across this problem? I can't find any other posting with this "waiting for window ... to map" message.

I'm not sure whether the error is relevant, but you most likely want to "sleep 5" or so between the xss-cmd and suspend calls to give xscreensaver some time to react before the system is suspended.
The problem and messages then probably arise  after the wakeup?

Edit: testing xscreensavers fade, make it rather 5 seconds.

Use && instead of ; between commands.

I.e.

xscreensaver-command --lock && systemctl suspend
