!! Screensaver set to use the switch user command upon wake/newlogin for LXDM.
xscreensaver.newLoginCommand: lxdm -c USER_SWITCHWhenever I open URxvt as my user, it's just a black terminal.
i.e. [user@localhost ~]# does not load. If I enter a command, it doesn't react but it does go to a new line upon hitting enter.
My .xinitrc has xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources.
If I log in as root and open URxvt as that, it works fine. [root@localhost ~]# comes up as expected and entering/running commands works fine.
I'm not sure where an error log would be for this. ~/.xsession_errors is empty.
Other things like my browser and such work fine. Fonts/colors load correctly.

zsh 5.3.1-1My URxvt was working fine before I started setting up XScreenSaver. XScreenSaver is working once I start the daemon manually however, including switching users using the command in the .Xresources.
My ~/.bash_profile just has exec xscreensaver -no-splash in it, although that doesn't seem to work atm.
I think that's everything I touched recently before relogging and finding my terminal unusable.
Manually running xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources doesn't bring up any errors. I only mention that because I did that while making changes and testing and it complained about an apostrophe in a comment I made, which I fixed.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Removing exec xscreensaver -no-splash from my ~/.bash_profile file and relogging fixes the issue. Hmm, I'm not sure why to be honest.
Edit 2: It seems I wasn't terminating the line properly. After changing my ~/.bash_profile to contain the following, it is working fine now.
exec /usr/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash &
