[Bug 39543] Ekiga should call the gnome-power-manager InhibitInactiveSleep command

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Public bug reported:

Affects: ekiga (upstream)
       Severity: Unknown
       Priority: Unknown

Description:
I was just in the middle of a voice call and my machine suspended.

It would be excellent if ekiga could let Gnome-Power-Manager know not to
go to sleep using the InhibitInactiveSleep call.

This is distinguished from Bug #30659 because I do not expect ekiga to
inhibit the screensaver. I don't mind if the screen blanks (in fact I
would like it to do so), but I can't think of a good reason why it
should suspend when you are *in* a call (the inhibit should begin as a
call begins and stop when the call ends - so that it doesn't inhibit
when it is sitting idle 'waiting' for a call).
