Seems to be the official answer from GNOME. And, per se, it seems entirely
reasonable.
The Debian bit works exactly as stated, so happiness achieved there. But for
Fedora, I haven't made things work.

This seems to indicate that a way forward is to symbolic link
/usr/share/dconf/profile/gdm to /etc/dconf/profile/gdm and then create a
directory /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d and add to it a file 99-local-settings
containing:
[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power]
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout=0
sleep-inactive-battery-timeout=0
and then run "dconf update". This created /etc/dconf/db/gdm indicating
possible success.
Reboot, but no luck still suspends. :-(

It may be posible to do the following from root:
su - gdm -s /bin/bash
to change to user gdm and still get a shell?
This works fine it seems:
[root@lavaine ~]# su - gdm -s /bin/sh
[gdm@lavaine ~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
1200
[gdm@lavaine ~]$
So the key is there (which is wasn't initially) but the value is wrong. I am
clearly missing something. Hopefully something simple.
