Greetings,

I did have terminals that were updating regularly. And I didn't have
the libxcb-dpms0 package installed. I've turned off the terminals and
installed the package. I set the idle time to 0.5 minutes, and
restarted boinc-client. After several minutes, the program still
claims to detect user activity.

Thanks for listing the relevant code. I'm going to have a look at it
over the weekend and see if I can't at least figure out a way to log
what precisely is being detected. I suspect that attempting to
live-debug with gdb could get hairy, though I could always dive into
that if I had to.

Cheers,
Preston Maness
