--- Comment #2 from Guido Falsi <madpilot at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi, I'm not sure I understand your description of the issue.

It looks very similar to bug #240804.

You say "(current configurations for both)" what does this mean? That both are
enabled at the same time in XFCE? this cannot work, you need to enable only
one.

Also you say that you performed pkg upgrade on 12 October 2019 14:58+000 UTC
and x11-wm/xfce4-wm was the only package updated, but later you state also
xorg-libraries-7.7_4 was upgraded. So what really happened?

Also, while I know this is no solution, rebooting looks overkill, I think
killing the screensaver process as root should unlock your session (although I
have not tested it so I could be wrong), you can do this by going to a virtual
terminal with ctrl-alt-1 or also connecting via ssh .

Just to be on the safe side, since you keep experiencing this issue, have you
tested forcing reinstallation of all the affected packages with fresh ones?

For all I mean at least all of XFCE, Xorg libraries, xscreensaver.

Finally you have provided a wealth of information in your console output, but I
could not find a list pf running processes (output of ps(1)) in there, created
while the bug is happening, that is, while the screen is locked and you're
unable to unlock it. That could at least make it clear if one or both
screensavers are running.
