Hardly anybody will - it's not even in git master yet ;-)

>The freeze seems to happen spontaneously (occurs within 1 to 3 weeks). So far I have not been able to find out how to reproduce this bug. There are 8 devices which have this problem. So far it happened about 15 times. The problem is discovered after a user closes the screensaver (xscreensaver) by touching the display. I don't think that xscreensaver is related to the problem.

Smells like fluxbox grabs the pointer, the screensaver grabs the server
(or actively the pointer), fluxbox doesn't receive a button release
(implying an auto-allow of the event) because of this and never allows the
event explicitly.

Is the screensaver triggered im- or explicitly? (ie. for idleness or
from eg. a menu entry)
