What about an option "Shut down when all tasks are completed". This
would shut down the machine when no application is inhibiting a sleep.
So I could rip a CD or watch a movie and gpm would shut down my
computer automatically afterwards. Very handy when you want to rip a
CD and have to leave the house soon or when you want to listen to a
tracklist and want the computer to sleep at the same time as you do. :)

How do you think about it Richard?
