Or when the idle-time is reached? (ie get that information somewhere, and
monitor inputs?)

That should not prevent us from implementing a solution for the platforms we
care about. At the same time, it would be nice to push the freedesktop spec for
this requirement, but I am afraid it could take a lot of effort. (I think
Wayland people are a bit more open for this kind of changes screensaver/grab
behaviours)
