Better yet, Gnome should never suspend or hibernate a user's PC for
the first time unless they have no apps running.  Then, Gnome should
check if we resume successfully including resumption of Wi-Fi.  If
there was any problem, Gnome should set the suspend-after-X-minutes
and suspend-on-lid-close options to "no".

Good idea?  Bad idea?  Should I file a wishlist bug with all the above
plus more refinement ideas I wrote in my PalmPilot's to-do list?

Cheers,
Jason
