So, is this a simple change that we can make for ourselves, or does it
require a modified plugin? If the latter, can you post your
modification.

I would be prepared to try it, though my own solution seems to be
working for me at the moment.

I have had no problems with WOL. Maybe my answer is not subject to the
problem you report. But more likely that issue depends on the model of
Mac that one has. I am using a 2007 iMac.

I do agree that the best solution is for LMS to deal with the issue in
its own code, but I don't see that we "will have to" set the assertions
within LMS itself, when ReallyPreventStandby works, rather that it would
be *much* neater.

The one advantage of my approach is that it does provide a
double-clickable way of preventing sleep, whatever else is going on.
That is something I find useful. For instance, at the moment I m
expecting an instant message from a friend so like to have my Mac awake
with display awake, so as to make it easy to check if there is a
message. Power assertions would not be the way to go with
Messages/iChat, since most of the time one does not need to keep the
machine awake, it is just a personal preference. Another case where
power assertions wouldn't work is VisualHub, which still works fine but
is not being developed further, so we are stuck with it as it is.
