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 Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
