Hi there, I'm doing some development on Wayland, basically making something that's like a clone of Workrave. You can see the prototype here:
https://github.com/j-n-f/norsi It seems that the most popular Wayland protocol for detecting when a user is "idle" is this protocol that is a part of KDE. One limitation that I have with this protocol is that if the user stops typing/mousing, but is watching a video or something, the video player can send fake activity with the `simulate_user_activity` request. My application is trying to track actual keyboard/mouse activity, and this fake activity makes things difficult (even though it is an effective way to prevent a lockscreen from triggering). My initial thought is that this protocol could be modified so that the timeout interface can be configured to track only particular kinds of events (e.g. genuine activity, fake activity, or both, etc.). To do this I would first need to discuss with whoever is currently maintaining this protocol, as well as any major implementers of the protocol. On the KDE side, I'm having a hard time finding the repository where this protocol is maintained, so if anyone here could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated. :) - John
