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?

Yes, all apps can do that: it's just a dbus call.

Do they do it, now? On 11.1? All of them? :-(

No idea. That's why I said "can do" and not "do". Again, I'm just
explaining how things work and I'm not saying the current setting makes
sense...

I'm not saying this setting makes sense by default -- I changed it on my
computer ;-) I'm merely explaining how things could work.

How exactly do I disable that setting for all the users?

Run gconf-editor, change
/apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_computer_ac to 0, right-click
and select "Set as default" (not sure how it's called in english).

You can also do it with the command line if you want to automate this
for multiple computers.

I didn't try it, so if it doesn't work, file a bug.
