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