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.
