Sway has two knobs to control idling: - seat idle_inhibit: when the seat is active (ie. not idle), this extends the active state. When the seat is idle, this is ignored. - seat idle_wake: when the seat is idle, this wakes up the seat. When the seat is active, this is ignored. The motivation for the deprecation is two-fold: - The concept of "seat idle state" is ill-defined. Each idle-notify-v1 client will pass a different idle timeout. With the old logic, a seat was declared idle if and only if all idle-notify-v1 timeouts have expired. However, if only a portion of the timeouts have expired, then some clients would wake up, and the rest would stay active. This is inconsistent with the definition of idle_inhibit/idle_wake: idle_inhibit was used for clients which are waking up. - It never worked properly with the new idle-notify-v1 protocol and no-one noticed. Only the legacy KDE idle protocol is taken into account, but that protocol is not used anymore.master
