It seems like a slightly different issue. At least, I don't remember 
running into this. However, it seems reasonable to use the 
sleep-inactive-ac-type dconf setting as I describe to see if it helps with 
this behavior as well. Suspend-on-logout may also be controlled by a 
different dconf setting.

I'm not sure how helpful that was, but I did want to reply.
