Hello,
Sorry my bad English.
Periodically, after some time of normal work (week-month), stops xautolock to lock the screen forced. Via timeout blocks.
[code]$ xautolock -locknow
Could not locate a running xautolock.
$ psx xautolock

Does this still happen with xautolock-2.2_p7?

In any case this is very unlikely to be fixed in Gentoo. It is best to try and address this upstream, although it is unclear if they are still active and how to contact them.
