There was discussion that the inhibitor would also stop popup
notifications. If such an inhibitor is attached to a surface, then it is
possible that the compositor could still show a popup notification, if it
figures out that it can make it appear without interfering with that
surface. For instance if the surface is not full-screen then the popup
could be placed in the unoccupied area.
