Bug Description

Impact:
screensaver starts during slideshows when it should not

Test Case:
I have System Settings > Brightness & Lock > Turn screen off when inactive for 5 minutes ENABLED.

When I am in the middle of viewing a photo slideshow with Shotwell, Ubuntu will turn off the screen after 5 minutes. The photos are changing every couple seconds during the slideshow, shouldn't this prevent the screen from being turned off?

Regression potential:
little, if inhibit is still not working it should be in the same state it was before

Reassigning to shotwell, as the app should inhibit the screensaver/lock screen, as far as I know.

affects: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) → gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) → shotwell (Ubuntu)

  * New upstream version:
    - "does not check response from fb assumes it is html/xml" (lp: #1050793)
    - Fixes an issue where Shotwell would not include all selected photos

  * debian/patches/06_uoa.patch: new version update
  * debian/patches/dont_set_hardcoded_libexec.patch: revert upstream change,
    changing the directory this way in a SRU is wrong
