Thanks.  That variety script was from an old version of variety, it
seems.  I removed that and checked that the current scripts  in
/usr/share/variety/scripts do not have that bug (looked like an
operation on a shell variable that may not exist).  I did notice a few
variety crashes, but they do not seem to coincide with screenlock failure.

I did have "clipboard indicator" and "media player indicator" enabled.
Disabled those.  Will see what happens.  I can uninstall variety if I
see more issues with that.
