Thinking about the 30 minute suspsend when idle more. Off the top of my head I can think of some use cases that can be impacted by this:
* A long download via firefox or chromium
* watching a movie or listening to music
Though a solution seems to this already exist. I know that totem has the ability to tell gnome-power-manager that the it is busy so don't do anything automatically. This would also be something that firefox or chromium could have as well when they are downloading content.
I was also told that Transimmision Bittorrent Client has the same logic to prevent gnome-power-manager from automatically like suspend when it is running.
Not sure if they are reporting the system not being idle or something else. But I believe it's all done over dbus.
To add some more comments.
