Hi there,

recently, I was playing some SNES ROMs with my kids using higan and a
USB gamepad. During this, it happened several times that the
screensaver would kick in and lock the screen, interrupting our game
rather abruptly (gnome-shell 3.26.1-2).

I guess this is because gamepad buttons are not counted as
"interaction with the desktop", so I guess it's up to higan itself to
inhibit the screensaver when the emulation is active. I am sure there
is a dbus message or similar for this?

Thanks,

 - Fabian
