ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The first time it happend I connected a secondary monitor, it took its time but
worked, so I at least was able to save my work and close my programs before
rebooting.
Before rebooting I tried disabling the laptop screen from system settings,
modifying the screen brightnes, making the external monitor primary, etc. to no
avail.
Today at home I started experimenting and if I put my laptop to sleep (which
takes longer than usual) it resumes correctly, except if I didn't close
spectacle the screen dims again, so I have to blindly Alt+Tab out of spectacle
before hitting th sleep button.
When invoked from konsole/yakuake (e.g. `spectacle -t`), this message is
repeteadly printed:
```
