1) Xscreensaver has about a half dozen different methods of checking
your password, depending on your OS/config - without knowing whether
you are using PAM or crypt(3c) or something else, it will be hard to
diagnose - at least mentioning the OS/distro name/version would be a
good start.
2) Xscreensaver isn't an X.Org program. The maintainer is Jamie
Zawinski and details on how to report bugs to him is at:
