[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] add clock to frame

[Jameson Quinn]

Well, if the frame always auto-hid after 10 seconds, and the delay for
idle-suspend was 15 seconds, then it would work. I personally believe that
the frame should be hidden more agressively - whenever there's a user action
that doesn't address it, and after a longish timeout around 10 seconds. In
my experience with kids, hitting the frame key and then trying to interact
with the activity and being unable to is one of the more common hangups.

(I'm afraid I don't understand the latest on suspend, but it's my
understanding that there are some kind of "micro-suspend" periods which are
separate from longer-term "idle suspend".)
