Comment (by pbennett):

 My point is -

 * If users have left idle timeout as zero, which is the default setting on
 an install.
 * AND If the users have auto login and auto startup of the frontend when
 the machine boots, which I believe is an option in the setup of
 !MythBuntu.
 Then when the machine starts up for a recording -
 * Without the change, the frontend goes into idle immediately, and the
 machine can shut down after the recording is complete.
 * With the change, the frontend will never go into idle, and the machine
 will not shut down after the recording, so it will stay running until
 somebody takes manual action.

 So I suspect that if we make the suggested change there may be users who
 start to complain that their machine does not shut down after making a
 recording.
