Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: important
Hi,
the algorithms used by gnome-power-manager/gnome-screensaver to
determine if a system is idle do not detect at least two common
scenarios: remote ssh logins, and the computer playing music, with
nobody between chair and keyboard.
This means that, if gnome-power-manager is configured to suspend my
computer when it's idle, it cuts off active ssh sessions, and kills my
jukebox as well.
Nikolaus
