Bug Description
Gnome-power-manager is supposed to facilitate better power usage. But it proves it's stupid. It's stupid because it make my system suspended when I was downloading important files using wget. I see very clearly in the preference page of gnome-power-manager that it promises the user it won't suspend the system until there is 'no activity' taking placing for 1 hour in power mode [AC] and for half an hour in power mode [Battery]. And just like many other system tools in gnome, it's lying again. It suspends my system even when wget is running in the gnome-terminal and there is network activities launched by the user himself, without asking. I call this stupid. I call this irresponsible. I call this dishonest.
