Applications can tell the system not to suspend (it's called 'inhibiting suspend') but they have to choose to do so. I don't think presentation apps or music players do. Totem, for instance, does inhibit suspend while it's playing video (not sure about music). is ti possible to have a list of applications that run by default, and everything else is considered activity? -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Mplayer and probably most movie players can suppress the screen saver. So then the problem simplifies to can GNOME be made smart enough to leave the system powered up if the screen is on even if no keyboard or mouse activity is going on. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

They can suppress the X screensaver, but the X screensaver and power management isn't good enough for gnome, they have to have their own entirely separate system which operates on entirely different mechanisms. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
