For example my box resumed from suspend. The lock screen image is
visible. I press space to get to my desktop.

Nearly the same as on the last "chapter". I want to "close" the lock
screen.

A backtrace from the crash is also likely to be useful. Since you are
using systemd, here is a convenient way to get backtraces:

- Install the systemd-coredump package
- Enable the debug archive
  
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols
  and install relevant debug symbols
- Reproduce the bug, causing the crash to happen
- Use "coredumpctl gdb" to debug the most recent core dump
- Use the "bt" command as in
  https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Running_gdb
This i will try the next time
