   	I ended up disabling all screensavers both in the Debian guest   
   and in the Slackware host, and the problem seems to have disappeared.   
   Since the Slackware host is a headless one, which is running a TigerVNC   
   session which I access from a different Slackware system, maybe the issue   
   is a combination of TigerVNC and Debian. Anyway, since a screensaver is   
   superfluous in a TigerVNC session, I'll take this solution.
