[Bug 862149] [NEW] gdm does not respect gnome power management settings

 

Public bug reported:

Set gdm as the session manager
When logged in go to system settings -> power -> suspend when inactive/when plugged in to - Don't suspend
Logout, and let the machine idle at gdm, machine will suspend after 30 minutes

This can be real frustrating when trying to remote in to the machine,
and it keeps suspending.

One possible solution is replace with lightdm which does not exhibit
this behavior.
