In some circumstances, that I haven't been able to identify at all, but which
could be related to opened Firefox, but I have really no evidence at all of
that, the script is defeated, and it's a huge PITA!
The screen turns back on at some point, and it's easy to see that it is not
turning off again, because of the timer being set to 30 sec.
$ dbus-monitor --session
"type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit'"
dbus-monitor is giving no clues of something happening it'd be aware of.
