Right, sorry for the delay, this mail got lost in the swamp.

So, should g-p-m look for the GetSystemIdleHint changed signal and base
that on it's system suspend decision?

And if so, where does system inhibit fit in?

In my ideal world (maybe cracktastic as David would say):

ConsoleKit manages system-wide Inhibit and UnInhibit actions.

Yes.

g-p-m is per session, and so stuff like yum run as root can't Inhibit
the system. And inhibiting the system via a session daemon breaks
horribly when you do fast user-switching.

So, given ConsoleKit is a daemon watching for activity on consoles, what
about adding a Inhibit interface to it and removing the interface from
g-p-m?
