Bad advice! In fact, KDE developers shouldn't use the D-Bus interface directly 
(it's very likely to change at this point, to switch to the fd.o proposal... 
need to find time to push that out) but the Solid::PowerManagement namespace 
which offers the same services.

@All: Please use Solid::PowerManagement::(begin|stop)SuppressingSleep. For you 
the D-Bus interface used is an implementation detail. This way once we make 
the switch it'll be transparent for you.

Regards.
