This problem was fixed by resetting the XF86Display from the
xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts section of Xfce settings:

I still don't understand what it was there for and on what
conditon it was invoked. The most imporatant remaining problem
upon wake-up are:

1. camcontrol(8) settings made at boot via /etc/rc.local become reset
2. (just noticed it) WiFi stops working, althugh networkmgr shows
   it connected. Restarting the network helps.
