I installed 1.12.0 from the OpenSuse build service on Ubuntu 18.04, and now idle detection is disabled. It works fine with 1.11.4-2 that is in Ubuntu. I have both libxcb1 and libxcb-screensaver0 installed, which are listed in the Ubuntu package's dependencies, but not the OpenSuse package. I suspect this is because Build-Depends in the dsc file is missing libxcb1-dev and libxcb-screensaver0-dev. I recompiled it using the same dsc and control files provided by the Ubuntu (Debian) package and it seems to have worked fine.
