          For sessions with a <doc:ref type="property" to="Session:x11-display">x11-display</doc:ref> set (ie. graphical
          sessions), it is up to each session to delegate the
          responsibility for updating this value.  Typically, the
          screensaver will set this.
          </doc:para>
          <doc:para>However, for non-graphical sessions with a <doc:ref type="property" to="Session:display-device">display-device</doc:ref> set
          the Session object itself will periodically update this value based
          on the activity detected on the display-device itself.
