Bug Description

powerd still checks for the presence of /home/phablet/.display-mir to decide whether to use SurfaceFlinger or DBus to control the screen. This seems bad long-term.

Ideally, it could just check presence of the DBus name com.canonical.Unity.Screen and use that result to decide whether to use SurfaceFlinger or not.

I ran into a problem with powerd that I couldn't figure out. g_idle_add doesn't work, while g_timeout_add(PRIORITY_HIGH, 0) does. Which makes gdbus not work, because it uses g_idle_add internally. Something about how powerd uses its main loop? Has anyone else seen that?
