Bug Description
The boinc client on my Ubuntu Gutsy does not resume computation if it is set to run only when computer is idle. The tasks remain suspended after the computer has been idle for a period of time set in the preference. The tasks resume when I set it to run while the computer is active though. The project I am running is the World Community Grid. I installed the official version for Gutsy.

I've the same issue.
1. Open BOINC manager
2. Go to Advanced > Preferences and set options as shown in included screen shot
3. Tasks will stay as "Suspended - User active" even after 3 minutes of inactivity are passed
Also, boinc-client appears in my task manager but it never runs (I left the PC idle a long time and CPU was always at 0%).
I think BOINC is not detecting an idle PC properly.
