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.
