It has been difficult for many developers to comply with many of the recommended power-saving practices for Maemo, especially those porting apps from desktop environments. I'm not sure how many of you noticed already, but in the best hack-tradition of the N900 mikkov made a suspendprocess package, not unlike what was talked about on this list - which could allow many of these power- guzzling apps to become a little more suspend-power-friendly with little to no effort.
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras- devel_free_armel/suspendprocess/0.1/ Basically it is a launch-wrapper that SIGSTOPs and resumes the app it started based on the DBUS signals. I would recommend all interested parties to take a look and if it improves/helps in their apps/packages, apply it to them (or report any problems/improvement suggestions, naturally). It's not the prettiest solution and native level DBUS solution is of course still preferred by far, but if you don't have that time or luxury (or are blessed with SDL code or similar), this might come handy.
