I get a black screen with a mouse cursor.  Nothing else happens after

I use Xfce. Recently, on my desktop only (F19) it's been doing something odd: if I've been away long enough that xscreensaver has blanked the screen, the monitor's LED will show that it's active, but the screen is still blank, although sometimes it will come back properly for less than a second, then blank again. I've found that if I use ^Alt-F2, I'll get a text console with a login prompt; if I go right back with ^Alt-F1, the screen's back to normal. I mention this only because you might try the same trick because the worst thing that can happen is it doesn't do any good for you.
