Well if there were a single hook which would check the idleness, there
will be no need for any other hooks as the system is *not idle* when
there's a video playback for example. Am I wrong?

Because it is quite impossible to create hooks for every possible
scenario. For example, if an e-mail client is running but not doing
anything, the machine can suspend but if it is downloading mail headers,
we should not suspend as we explicitly left it open for checking out the
headers.

Thanks!
