Howdy doesn't work immediately at lock screen on Ubuntu 22.04

There is a delay of about ten seconds before howdy starts detecting my handsome face :).

Linux distribution (if applicable): ubuntu 22.04

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): latest

Having the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04, Gnome / Wayland desktop Ubuntu : 22.04.1 Gnome Shell : GNOME Shell 42.2

howdy version : Howdy 2.6.1

Howdy does not work at all on my Ubuntu system. It tests just fine, only it looks like it never kicks in: I still have to input my password with every prompt. What am I doing wrong?

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS GNOME 42.2 Wayland

Here's what the mystery was in my case: my laptop's lid was closed. Here's a suggestion guys: please fix this "ignore_closed_lid = false," as this ordinarily means that howdy should not ignore the closed lid, which is precisely the opposite of what you guys intend to convey by "ignore_closed_lid."
