[SOLVED] xfce 4.14 in vtown, keyboard not responding to unlock

So with the new version of xfce in vtown, when the screen goes idle and locks, sometimes I'm unable to type my password and unlock the screen. I think when the screen is shut off that it happens. (I was away from the keyboard longer than 20 minutes.) I can click on the "unlock" and "cancel" buttons, but there's no flashing cursor in the password entry field. Clicking on the password entry field doesn't restore the cursor.

Since I'm making dinner at the moment, I'm sure the screen will go idle again in a bit.
