Bug Description
On Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon, Caffeine starts OK:
$ caffeine
<class 'Xlib.protocol.
INFO:root:caffeine is inhibiting desktop idleness
but the screen is dimmed anyway. What can I do to find the problem?
Try using caffeine- screensaver {suspend, resume} directly. See man xdg-screensaver. Most likely, that script simply doesn't work on CInnamon yet. I am interested in fixing it, of course!
