This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2158355

I am copying this bug because:

Description of problem:

The new systemd idle session timer is always being triggered when 'mc' or 'mcedit' is being used. The session is killed after the set timeout ignoring active input by the human 'mc'.
With using 'vi' or 'nano' editor the session idle timer works and the session is not killed, only after being idle for the set timer (e.g. the 10 seconds in the reproducer below) the session is killed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Modify /etc/systemd/logind.conf, add 'StopIdleSessionSec=10'
2. sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
3. Run 'mc''
4. Keep being active for 20 seconds (e.g. presses down-key and then up-key)

Actual results:Unable to keep active for 20 seconds, the session is killed after 10 seconds

Expected results:Session is only killed after 10 seconds no human input is provided
