Does not report activity to systemd-logind

Also, xss-lock manages the idle hint on the login session.

When all sessions are idle, the login manager can take action (such as suspending the system) after a preconfigured delay.

So I think this is supposed to interface with the IdleAction and IdleActionSec in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

However, it just doesn't work. The action defined in logind.conf is always taken after the timeout. xss lock does not report activity at all. It has been a while since the last update; perhaps something about logind changed?
