Comment (by pbennett):

 I do not think this patch is valid.

 Say a setup has a backend and a frontend on the same machine and the
 frontend automatically starts when the machine starts up. If there is no
 idle timeout set on the frontend, and the machine starts up to make a
 recording, the machine will never shut down again. There is code in the
 frontend to detect this situation and set the frontend into idle so that
 the machine can shut down after the recording is complete.

 The patch will defeat this mechanism. The frontend logic to cater for this
 situation becomes irrelevant and will not achieve anything.
