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.
But if the user does not expect the system to shutdown he will not change any settings and might be very annoyed the first time that happens. So it should at least be mentionned in the release notes or, even better, be switched off for openSuse, just as suggested in the bug report.
Absolutely. I was quite "disturbed", and I'd be very annoyed if it weren't factory.
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?
Absolutely. This thing needs a module in Yast. A module where root defines the overall policy for the entire system: - allow/disallow users to manually hibernate - allow/disallow users to automatically hibernate when iddle - force machine to automatically hibernate when iddle - change policy depending on the hour: for example, if the machine is iddle after hours, allow/force hibernate it. - define admisible idling period As it is now, it is more a damm nuisance than a feature :-/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
