--- Comment #16 from Pedro V <voidpointertonull+bugskde...@gmail.com> ---
This sounds like it's actually trying to address 2 separate issues:
- Certain actions like a power management action taken on low battery status
likely shouldn't be possible to inhibit. I wouldn't leave this matter up to
what would be essentially a power management inhibition blacklist, but some
events should just ignore inhibitions. For example going sleep when idle makes
sense to be possible to inhibit as idle doesn't necessarily mean no user
activity, but taking action on low battery or lid closing really shouldn't have
anything in the way.
- Would be great to be able to ignore inhibitions of misbehaving programs.
Likely Bug 460125 is relevant to this, but then there's also the problem that
quite a few programs encapsulate others which would make the usefulness of such
feature limited in some cases. For example if we ever get audio-specific power
management inhibition, then the not so rare silly problem of malicious websites
doing audio fingerprinting and keeping something audio output related around
would be one annoyance this couldn't handle as this could only block the
browser completely.
