--- Comment #9 from Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk> ---
Summary of discussion with Xavier and Guillaume: there is some concern that
this should perhaps not always be active - either runtime-configurable, or only
when UPower says we are on battery, or (etc.):

* While the session is idle, users might reasonably expect to still see (or
hear!) notifications. In GNOME 3.8, new message notifications (with contact
names but not the actual message) appear on the lock screen by default;
notification sounds appear to be on by default, but muted while in the lock
screen.

* Maybe we should only do this when configured with UPower support, and it says
we are on battery?

* Maybe we should only do this when the screen is blanked? (How do we tell?)

For now, I'm going to merge these patches for the forthcoming 5.15.0 release to
maximize testing, but leave the bug open.
