You could also be actively using input devices bypassing the display server, in which case the display would not know the user is active - I suspect joysticks might fall into that category. I think systemd-logind might maintain idle time information if it is told about user activity. This is not to say there cannot be a Wayland extension for it. There could, if there is someone to put the good effort into it, and other people agree it's a good idea. Why is this a bug report? Is this a feature request? If you only had a question, please use the Wayland mailing list and close this report as not a bug. The design discussion for a such feature cannot be had in a Bugzilla.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
