xscreensaver messup desktop background

[Andrew Sackville-West]

Hi xfce,

first -- I love xfce. I cam to it after experimenting with various
lightweight desktops: icewm, wmii etc. I actually liked wmii a whole
bunch but they changed the way it operates recently and it didn't fit
with me as well. anyway, I'm super happy with xfce.

So, my issue. I use xscreensaver and occaisionally I get artifacts on
my desktop that are clearly the result of one of the xscreensavers. I
am wondering if anyone has any insight into whose bug this may be:
xscreensaver, xfce, video driver, xorg etc. Let me know what you think
and I will file the proper bug report.

I am using debian sid up-to-date, xfce 4.3.99.2-1 (some -3, like
xfce4-session).
