There goes my theory :-(

Yes, that's a "normal" security feature of screensavers.

It doesn't. It's frozen from a passive grab (at least in the log you
provided), ie. probably lacks a
"XAllowEvents(dpy, AsyncPointer, CurrentTime);" somewhere.

Could be the be.time driven call in Window.cc isn't sufficient.
Since you can apparently reproduce this "quite some", can you invoke a
patch (resp. simply alter the call "s/be.time/CurrentTime")?

Cheers,
Thomas
