Probably not, because in the KCM there are multiple settings for this, not just
one. So you can't sync one setting with two; what happens if the user
disabledone of those two settings in the KCM, but not the other (as I have, in
fact)?

Same problem. The applet setting affects more than just suspending; it allows
you to inhibit both suspending and also turning off the screen.

That seems more realistic to me.
