To add some more comments.

Thinking about the 30 minute suspsend when idle more. Off the top of my
head I can think of some use cases that can be impacted by this:

* A long download via firefox or chromium
* watching a movie or listening to music

Though a solution seems to this already exist. I know that totem has the
ability to tell gnome-power-manager that the it is busy so don't do
anything automatically. This would also be something that firefox or
chromium could have as well when they are downloading content.

I was also told that Transimmision Bittorrent Client has the same logic
to prevent gnome-power-manager from automatically like suspend when it
is running.

Not sure if they are reporting the system not being idle or something
else. But I believe it's all done over dbus.
