Console from boot time with pkg list and pkg upgrade leading to bug

After doing a pkg update 20190925 02:19+0000 UTC that performed many XFCE
updates that seemed related to "Installed packages to be UPGRADED:" xfce:
4.12_1 -> 4.14 based set of updates there was "New packages to be INSTALLED:"
xfce4-screensaver: 0.1.8.

The pkg upgrade proceed with no issues and the FreeBSD 11.3 based system was
immediately rebooted by me not only due to the extent of the many upgraded
XFCE4 packages, but there was an update for xorg-server: 1.18.4_11,1 ->
1.18.4_12,1.

The reboot and CLI startx (to start xfce4 by default) proceeded just fine, and
clearly a new look an feel for XFCE4.  I was away from the machine for a bit
and opon return instead of the xscreensaver-5.43_1 screen that was always
displayed when the XFCE4 needed to be unlocked with xfce-4.12_1 a lockscreen
clearly fome XFCE (xfce4-screensaver-0.1.8) displayed.  xfce4-screensaver-0.1.8
would not accept any keyboard input and therefore unable to unlock the XFCE4
session.

Was forced to reboot FreeBSD system with data loss of data not able to access
and not saved as not expecting a completely different and likely conflicting
with xscreensaver-5.43_1 situation.

Unable to find any settings for xfce4-screensaver-0.1.8 via settings menu that
would make sense of xfce4-screensaver-0.1.8 and xscreensaver-5.43_1
co-existing.  This XFCE4 related update makes the use of the system completely
useless and makes using FreeBSD DE useless.

File of the updates done is attached.

I do not have a working phone SD card that would have allowed taking a video of
the issue with the xfce4-screensaver not accepting any keyboard input for
password in the widget for password (as xscreensaver also has).
