O yeah, right, didn't think of the laptop case. (I don't got a laptop myself) But for laptops, blocking suspend is even worse: you can suddenly discover that your battery is empty, because the last time you closed the lid the laptop didn't suspend because you had a job running. One thing we could do is maybe have a sound when you have a job running and close the lid: delay the suspend for half a minute or something, so the user has the chance to open the lid again and wait for the job to end, or just ignore it and have the job aborted. I'm not sure if this is a plasma thing, I have no idea what actually takes care of suspending when you close your laptop lid.
