Comment(by raster):

 bingo! it's not  the job of some susped.deny thing or other such hacks
 that guess based on open files or on process names etc. that is entirely
 an ugly hack that is bound to break down in so many places. if an app
 truly wants the system not to suspend while it's up - the app should ask.
 there is a dbus api just for that. :) if an app wants the system to sleep
 (e.g. some idle timeout) again - dbus api to ask just for that. the rest
 is just complicating what is a very simple system already in place. :)
 there really is zero need for suspend.deny if you knwo what is already in
 place (as ompower implements a suspend.deny via dbus requests as such).
