Comment 53 for bug 1274456

I've been trying to fix this for days and just found this bug report. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS with BOINC 7.2.42 yet this has still not been fixed. It's really an infuriating bug and from what I can tell it's been running for the last six years (this bug report was linked to from another older one.

Can there be any hope of a fix soon?

In my case, it would neither suspend or resume upon activity or idle, although switching to the advanced view of BOINC seems to have made it suspend when I move the mouse, but it never resumes on idle thereafter.
