--- Comment #1 from Kai Uwe Broulik <kde at privat.broulik.de> ---
When a hangouts message is received and it plays a sound, Chrome sets an
inhibition. It does this to ensure while playing a video it doesn't turn off
the screen. Unfortunately it does so even for short sounds. Once an inhibition
is released, PowerDevil (KDE's power management system) simulates user activity
so when a timeout (such as auto screen turn off) outlasts the inhibtion
(watching a movie) it would still turn it off eventually. It is likely that
this causes the screen to turn on. I'll investigate what could be done to
satisfy both needs.
