@rrt, thanks, but I'm sure that scenario would work just fine and then they would refer me to report a bug against mate-screensaver who would then just suggest that I use the mate inhibit panel applet instead. Which works fine, but is not an indicator like yours and is essentially unthemeable (it sticks out like a sore thumb with my theme).
jorgicio's patch for 2.8.3 does exactly what I need it to so my issue is resolved. I'll leave y'all to do with that info what you will (I totally get why you're going the xdg-utils route moving forward). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462186 Title: Add MATE support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/caffeine/+bug/1462186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
