Since it is xserver that crashes, it is not a bug in gnome-screensaver. Client should never be able to crash the server. I confirm this here (with oowriter starting) and will try to link to freedesktop #8537, that has already a patch.

Discord: please provide your Xorg.0.log, it has valuable information about the crash at the end, so that we can confirm it is the same bug.

Changed in gnome-screensaver:
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

Well, I did not manage to add the watcher, this is the direct link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8537.

I attach my crash file; the backtrace is exactly the same as on freedesktop (ending with X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xad).
