I also doubt that apache, gcc/make or $favoriteP2Pclient are capable of telling Gnome to leave the computer running. Even if a application can do that, can a KDE application tell Gnome, can a Gnome application tell KDE to not shut down the system?

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.
