Since the automatic sleeping seems to be on by default, this raises some
questions: What mechanisms are in place to prevent the computer from
going to sleep during an overnight compile job or download? What
mechanism prevents a dual use desktop+server from going to sleep during
lunch break? What about organizer-applications that want to
(acoustically) notify me about something that's on my schedule while I
am not using the PC?

gnome-power-manager has some inhibit mechanisms. This means an
application can say "don't suspend" (eg, when you're burning a CD). And
the user can also control this with an applet.
