Review request for Solid.


Description
-------

Avoid race during button-triggered DPMS

core->onResumeFromSuspend calls SimulateUserActivity from the
screensaver dbus interface. This seems to race with the subsequent call
to DPMSForceLevel so that the screen re-wakes but 'xset -q' thinks it is
off and timed dpms activation is disabled (this may be hardware dependent 
- see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864074 for details.)

PowerDevil::Core::onResumeFromSuspend used to (optionally) lock the
screen but this changed in a3b0089130145ad15173d1c14ab8a672b93aea65 -
now the call is useless at best.

Testing

Set powerbutton to turn off screen and tested that it works.


Thanks,
