Bug#893574: gnome-shell: Suspend after 20 minutes even there is activity on a seat

[floris]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.28.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since version 3.27.90 the default action is to suspend after 20 minutes of
inactivity. Unfortunately, the system also suspend when there is activity on a
seat while the other is idle.

   * What led up to the situation?

create a multiseat setup with the "loginctl attach seat1" command

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Leave seat1 on the gdm3 login screen and go away.
Login on seat0 and play.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The system go to sleep after 20 minutes

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The system stays awake

When both seats are active the system doesn't go to sleep.
