noidle

[Jeremy Lavergne]

> The energy saver system preferences are for setting how long your computer waits to go to sleep when it is idle; building something with MacPorts is not being idle. I imagine the power manager probably largely just looks at whether there is mouse movement or keyboard input to determine whether the system is idle. Note that video players like VLC and Apple's DVD Player probably also manipulate the power manager so the system doesn't go to sleep in the middle of a video.

Do we really want to be responsible for energy saver settings, which will require sudo for people not using a root-installed MacPorts?
