Comment (by pbennett):

 The main bug is that the backend gets woken up by a frontend that is in
 idle. This makes no sense since the idle state is designed to let the
 backend shut down.

 Once this is fixed other bugs become apparent.

 - The frontend starts displaying notifications that it cannot connect to
 the backend. This makes no sense since idle is designed to allow the
 backend to shut down.
 - If you escape the frontend idle screen while the backend is shut down or
 suspended, the frontend hangs for a very long time and does not wake the
 backend. When coming out of idle it should wake the backend.

 See my patch for addressing all of these.

 Re-wake-up after the frontend has been in idle will take a minute or so
 after exiting idle.
