There definitely are usecases for applications requesting display power changes, but yes they need to be filtered/mangled by the shell, and only applied when the requesting app, and session, are in focus.

As long as the user can easily escape it (Alt+Tab, power button etc.), I don't think we need to protect this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1521403 Title: Unity8 crashes on suspend/standby with SIGSEGV in Screen::makeCurrent (./src/platforms/mirserver/screen.cpp:406) Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding unity8.
