In my experience, this was because we load the greeter synchronously,
blocking handling of the power-release event.  If loading the greeter
took longer than 2s, the dialog would come up because it never saw the
power-release event.  And often loading the background image could slow
that down enough for 2s.  Or maybe that dbus-daemon hogging the CPU
could also exacerbate it.

But the branch that was linked *was* relevant because it made the
problem exceedingly difficult to experience (I never did), despite the
fact that it didn't *fix* the problem of synchronously loading.  But
with the linked branch [1] we are just loading QML code instead of image
files, which is small enough to not delay loading over 2s.

Simply making the greeter load async (by setting "asynchronous: true" on
its loader) is actually a little tough, because of timing issues.

Title:
  Power dialog sometimes shown on resume

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Unfortunately no good steps to reproduce, other than "resume your
  phone", from time to time you'll get the power dialog displayed on
  screen.

  The reason for this could be twofold: a) you pressed the power button
  in your pocket b) input is confused and keyUp event does not reach
  unity8.
