Hi,
just out of interest, does the idleness detection recognize any (really
any) video player being in use and playing a movie? I rarely touch
keyboard or mouse when watching 2 hours long movie. Or when watching a
video in any (really any) web browser?
It's up to the application to inhibit idleness. See gtk_application_inhibit().
The cross-desktop D-Bus specification exists since 2012, before the code was
GNOME-specific and existed for many a year in gnome-screensaver:
