Comment 6 for bug 1440825

Echoing @nobuto's remarks, this is a rather unpleasant surprise moving from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04. I use Caffeine to keep the system awake during important background tasks and when I can see the screen while not actually at the keyboard. Unfortunately, now notifications don't work in such cases.

As this is technically working according to design, should I file a bug report with the Ayatana project, NotifyOSD, is one expected to change org.gnome.desktop.session.idle-timeout in a script, or..?

Pardon the noise if I should have contacted elsewhere first.
