I almost like it. :-)
I'm just wondering if we shouldn't try to give a bit more control to the
applications when they call Inhibit. For instance, the app might want to
provide a hint that it doesn't want suspend and hibernate to happen also when
they're triggered manually. I'm thinking about CD Burning for instance, those
applications clearly need to hint the power manager that they should not be
interrupted be it because of an idle session, user wrongly requesting
suspend, or because of very low battery.
So I'd add two bool to inhibit similar to this:
bool except_user_triggered
bool except_on_low_battery
They would default to "true", but applications would have the opportunity to
disable one of those exception when inhibiting.
Nah, this really belongs to the system enhibiting rather than session
inhibiting (you'd also want to restrict other users from frying your
CD). Thus it should not be a part of the session interface but rather
a part of HAL (and from the traffic here it seems that a preliminary
implementation is already in its place).
