Bug Description

In turbo, r131, while watching a video on the browser the screen will lock after the set time in settings for screen locking. I'd expect it wouldn't lock while the video is playing.

I don't think the browser has any way of knowing that a video is playing in order to keep the screen on.

Oh it does, oxide has a PowerSaveBlocker implementation that invokes the "keepDisplayOn" method of the com.canonical.Unity.Screen D-Bus interface. Could it be that the landing of repowerd broke that interface, by any chance?

@olivier - might be, I don't remember it happening earlier.
And actually, I've just checked again and can't reproduce anymore. Please discard.
