[Bug 1274456] Re: BOINC is always suspended, if set to work when IDLE

[Jussi]

OK this:
$ sudo su boinc -c 'sh -c 'sleep 2;xprintidle > /mnt/Data/test.txt''

Seems to be same as:
$ sudo su boinc -c 'sh -c 'baboon;xprintidle > /mnt/Data/test.txt''

So, only xprintidle is executed and the test is therefore invalid.

But for sure, xprintidle prints correct IDLE time when tested in terminal
and so BOINC should work. But it doesn't, what is the difference?
