| -- Workaround for inhibiting screensaver for io.mpv.Mpv flatpak (if not paused) | |
| -- Issue: [vo/gpu/wayland] GNOME's wayland compositor lacks support for the idle inhibit protocol. This means the screen can blank during playback. | |
| -- Until this is merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/111 | |

| -- NOTE: if mpv does not exit cleanly (e.g. with SIGKILL), an orphan process will keep inhibiting the screensaver | |
