   I got this

   18:46 console: error reading bitmap /mit/yandros/graphics/smallterm.xbm
   20:46 Warning: Cannot convert string "/mit/yandros/graphics/pentagram.xbm" to type Pixmap
   20:53 xscreensaver: Error grabbing keyboard (BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation))!  Giving up on screensaver activation (try again).

   The first two were because I'd renamed the directory and not updated
   the resources; no problem there.  This is completely unrepeatable; it
   worked fine the second time I tried to lock the screen.  I understand
   it's not much use as a bug report, but I thought you might like to have
   it as a data point.

Fascinating.  If it happens again and you manage to figure out how to
repeat it, let me know.  Otherwise, I'm going to have to assume that
it's a transient fluke/X error that I can't do anything about....
