As it turns out, the activity update control panel needs to inhibit suspend, too, otherwise we go to sleep in the middle of downloading large activities (Firefox, TamTam, etc). Chris, could you make a little wiki page explaining how to interact w/ ohm via dbus to temporarily inhibit suspend, and

We shouldn't be patching every program to avoid suspending at various times. We should be improving the heuristic that the system (Ohm) uses to decide when to suspend. Once we have better information from the kernel about what the running processes are doing, we'd just have to rip out all
