+# Rationale:
+# After xautolock -restart is called, it simply stops working.
+# I'm not exactly sure why that happens, but I'm not up for researching that.
+# This problem comes into play when xdg-screensaver uses the -restart option
+#  simply because there is no other way to reset the lock timer.
+# Since a few well-known (video player) applications continuously keep calling
+#  xdg-screensaver reset to avoid the lockscreen being triggered, this problem
+#  can be observed after running those applications.
+# The expected behavior is resetting the lock timer, so instead of wasting
+#  resources actually restarting the entire application, why not simply
+#  actually reset the lock timer?
