This is really a scheduling bug in the kernel IMHO. Thoggen used to nice() itself automatically on start-up, but that was removed again for some reason I don't remember (and the ChangeLog doesn't say, unfortunately). Possibly the reason was that desktop environments tended to think it was ok to hibernate/suspend automatically after N minutes of inactivity if thoggen was niced. If that is the case then we could probably re-introduce the nice now that we inhibit gnome-power-manager explicitly while running.
