I tried for a few hours trying to rebuild packages with reversed 
patches, in the hopes of restoring autosuspend when $HOME is a 
network mount. I gave up as there are too many changes for my C++ 
skills to overcome.

We can't test whether commit cbbc7ad0 resolves the problem until 
the autosuspend feature is restored to tdepowersave when $HOME is a 
network mount.

I really want to see autosuspend work with tdepowersave when $HOME 
is a network mount. If you can restore autosuspend when $HOME is a 
network mount, then I'd be happy to retest tdepowersave with commit 
cbbc7ad0.
