SUMMARY
In a Wayland session I get a "remote control requested" dialog that asks for permission to control input devices when clicking the audacious tray icon, but the dialog does not name which program requests control. I think that is an issue as the dialog is obviously thought as security feature, but any program could show the dialog and I wouldn't know which program I am granting permissions

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Trigger a program to requests input devices (e.g. audacious)

OBSERVED RESULT
You are asked to grant permissions without knowing to which program

EXPECTED RESULT
The dialog should contain the program name.
