Xscreensaver password not recognized

Hi,
After the latest upgrades, my xscreensaver starts correctly, but it no longer accepts my password. To unlock the screen, I have to switch to a text TTY and manually kill the xscreensaver process.
Could you please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Marco

I remember other have similar issues - the solution would be to disable the xscreensaver and use xfce’s builtin screensaver.
