 I have some menu items that perform an EXEC. (In my case, it runs Firefox,
 which I use to watch Amazon Video). As soon as the program exits, my
 frontend tries to enter standby mode. The idle timer should be suspended
 during execution of programs.

 I created a workaround in my home system. It looks like this:
 https://github.com/chadparry/mythtv/commit/5739e68d85f2732843d813418c038f4392493e1a.
 I'm pretty sure that's the wrong fix though. It feels like the real fix
 belongs in MythSystem. But that patch was easy for me to create because I
 saw the log lines about input devices appearing at the same time I needed
 to kick the timer, and because I'm not familiar with mythsystem.cpp.

 I have a related patch here: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11033.
