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.
Whether that should be a privileged operation, I'm not sure. 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 Ubuntu-X, 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) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1521403/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
