Bug#508670: gnome-power-manager: g-p-m does not work correctly when more than one users are simultaneously logged in

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.22.1-4
Severity: normal

I have noticed some strange behaviour from gnome-power-manager.

I have enforced sleep_type_ac=hibernate and sleep_computer_ac=600 for all users 
through gconf-editor, so that the computer automatically hibernates after 10 minutes of inactivity.

I expected the computer to hibernate when ALL users logged in have been inactive for this period of time.

Instead, what happens is that if ANY user has been logged in and inactive for 10 minutes, the computer hibernates
even if there is someone working on the computer.

Would it be possible for running instances of g-p-m to communicate with each other to prevent this from happening?
