Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I run xscreensaver :
ii  xscreensaver                          5.26-1                             amd64        Screensaver daemon and frontend for X11
ii  xscreensaver-data                     5.26-1                             amd64        Screen saver modules for screensaver frontends

I run it with xscreensaver-command -activate and xscreensaver-command -lock (called via xautolock)

I run xbuffy.

when xscreensaver is locking the display, xbuffy can still display its list
and reveal the screen content. So whatever confidential info was on my screen
is available to ppl passing by my desk.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

xscreensaver should not allow displaying the content of the screen.
