+    <description summary="idle notification">
+      This interface is used by the compositor to send idle notification events
+      to clients.
+
+      Initially the notification object is not idle. The notification object
+      becomes idle when no user activity has happened for at least the timeout
+      duration, starting from the creation of the notification object. User
+      activity may include input events or a presence sensor, but is
+      compositor-specific.
+
+      How this notification responds to idle inhibitors depends on how
+      it was constructed. If constructed from the
+      get_idle_notification request, then if an idle inhibitor is
+      active (e.g. another client has created a zwp_idle_inhibitor_v1
+      on a visible surface), the compositor must not make the
+      notification object idle. However, if constructed from the
+      get_input_idle_notification request, then idle inhibitors are
+      ignored, and only input from the user, e.g. from a keyboard or
+      mouse, counts as activity.
+
+      When the notification object becomes idle, an idled event is sent. When
+      user activity starts again, the notification object stops being idle,
+      a resumed event is sent and the timeout is restarted.
