yes, and that's what I want to change.

I didn't know about Backend Sleep command. Will check it out. But my
current setup works the way that whenever frontend exits or is killed
the frontend goes to sleep automatically. I don't need backend to
interfere in this.

really? Then it's implemented incorrectly. I would think that when I
start a movie or a music it should play until the end (of movie or a
music queue) and THEN it should start measuring the user inactivity. 

IOW, shutting down the system immediately when playback finished or
during a music plays is totally unacceptable.

Right. And it's indeed been integrated, at last. However, it seems to
have some glitches yet.
