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.
However, root should be able to control what power he gives the users over this. Root should be able to disable the ability of users to power off, reset, or hibernate the computer, or on the contrary, force an hibernation; and this regardless of what desktop the user is using.
Not always the user is root, and not always it is a portable.
Just disable "suspend" for the usual user through /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.policy
When you provide a GUI to it or a holdmyhandstepbystep manual.
Indeed, a YaST module for all PolicyKit configurations would be nice.
Indeed! - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
