IMO there are three separate bugs here. The first bug is the dialog itself. Why is there such a dialog? It's not necessary. The second bug is that the dialog sometimes prevents suspend from working. And the third bug is the dialog not closing itself when the system resumes. This is merely cosmetic but makes Ubuntu look amateurish.
The easiest solution is to completely remove the dialog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1232454 Title: "Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity." dialog when resuming from suspend Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Unknown Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 13.10 today, every time I unlock my computer after leaving it for a long time I get this prompt: -- Power Automatic suspend Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity. -- However, the computer doesn't actually suspend. And even if I do this manually (which works) and then resume, the prompt is still there (and in that case, not true at all). This is ugly and seems broken! As suggested by the upstream Gnome bug report, this is an issue pertaining to Ubuntu's lack of systemd integration.
