Bug#784847: gnome-power-manager: suspends for second connected user after wakeup and switching to other user

[Olivier Berger]

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a laptop running Gnome 3 with multiple user accounts, with suspend set to happen after some time of inactivity, the following behaviour occurs, leading to almost immediate suspend right after resuming a suspended laptop.

A user is logged-in, and another user starts a new session and logs in.

After some time of inactivity as this second user, the computer suspends.

Upon resume time, after unlocking with the second user's password, his/her session is closed, which allows resuming to the first user's session.

Right after resuming the first session, the computer suspends. During the first user's session resume, there seems to be a few warnings about energy, but I wan't able to remember for precisely reporting.

It seems as if the suspends have been queued, and resuming doesn't abort all suspend requests, so the first user's inactivity timeout is still taken into account. It seems to me that suspends/resume should be global, for the whole system, and not for parallel timers, one for each logged-in user.

This resuming + almost immediate suspend again is quite annoying : resuming should discard any previous "pending suspends".

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
