xscreensaver leaves bad screen settings


Hello everybody!
I have a problem on Slackware 12.2 with xfce 4.6 (downloaded from the current tree) using xscreensaver 5.07.
The problem is that when the screensaver ends (i.e. I move the mouse) it leaves my screen shifted on the right, with the missing part on the right moved to the left part. If I use nvidia-setting to change screen resolution and I click "apply" then "abandon" when it prompts for the changes to be confirmed, I get my correct visualization back.

It doesn't happen every time I use the screensaver, so I haven't a proper way to know how to reproduce the problem.
I don't know either if it is only a bad configuration issue or a proper bug.
I decided to post here because I looked on the internet and also on the linuxquestion forums without finding anybody with the same problem (perhaps I chose wrong key words in my search...)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Happy week-end to everybody!

Anyone?

Anyone got the same problem? Please people help me! This is not an important problem, but it is the only spot remaing to the perfect configuration of my slack box...
Also, I guess it could be something worth to solve if any other people are having the same problem...
