Hi Roland

Thank you for your patch.
Can we know what version, and what configuration (ie.
upower/ConsoleKit or logind) is this patch developed against?
In 3.8 under systemd, the shell installs a delay inhibitor, so suspend
does not happen until the screen is locked.

Also, should you find more bugs, it would be greatly helpful to report
them at bugzilla.gnome.org, where they can be tracked and addressed.
Thanks!

Giovanni
