 FOR SCREENSAVER:
-* use [Un]Inhibit together as a SimulateUserActivity workalike
-* xdg-screensaver suspend / resume to SimulateUserActivity
-       * http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib-tutorial/2nd-program-anatomy.html
-       * http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0beta3/xdg-screensaver.html
-* SimulateUserActivity
-       * does it work on other people's machines?
-               * find if other people have their gnome-screensaver run even if they set
-               screensaver timeout to 1 minute and run:
-               for ((i = 0; i < 999; i++)); do
-                       sleep 50;
-                       gnome-screensaver-command --poke;
-               done;
+* gnome-screensaver-command --poke
        * find irc channel to ask if my understanding is correct
        * file bug
        * track down bug
                * compile gnome-screensaver
-* cli opt parse
-       * quiet mode
-               * no display window
-               * no text printed to terminal
-* fire up the face detector only just before going to inactive mode.
-       * that way the camera isn't running all the time
-       * maybe start 10 seconds before going inactive, then run until activity
-* be more aggressive with turning off the screen.  dim the screen as soon as
-it's not being looked at.  turn it off soon thereafter.
-       * could be enough to save battery.  would need to power the camera sometimes,
-       but would save on backlight.  need to test.
-* don't prevent sleep when face is detected, but user isn't actually looking at
-screen.
-       * requires pose estimation.
-       * also requires estimating the direction of the eye.
 
-OTHER IDEAS:
-* authenticating a user based on face recognition (as opposed to face
-detection)
-       * much more difficult to do reliably
-       * use object tracking and emotion estimation to require a set of facial
-       expressions as authentication.
-               * awesome for people who find typing hard, eg: no hands
