[Bug 290753] Re: Multiple applications have stopped the suspend from taking place. vlc : Playing some media

[Wirawan Purwanto]

I see quite a bit of good input on comment #8 just above. Commenting on
point 8 about the doc bug, this is probably what you are after:

file:///usr/share/doc/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-
manager-2.24.0/spec/dbus-interface.html#dbus-inhibit

I would like to add one more "feature request" to Bela's list above,
although implementing this is would be more complicated:

(9) g-p-m: When an application is suspending, perhaps g-p-m can issue a
command via dbus (or whatever reasonable means) to applications such as
vlc to pause playing. If it succeeds, then suspend will continue as
usual. This would be a nice feature, as applications don't have to
always force its "will" to g-p-m (i.e. inhibiting suspend). It is not
critical for a playback to be paused automatically if we want to suspend
the computer. But of course there are circumstances where we don't want
g-p-m to suspend no matter what, such as formatting disk, burning a
CD/DVD, etc.
