This might not be the right thing to do, if RHIDE uses the idle time
to do something useful.  For example, Emacs will continue to syntax-
highlight its buffers and to check whether buffers should be auto-
saved when the keyboard is idle.  Telling Windows to "Always suspend"
will cause RHIDE to not get any cycles when its window is not the
active one, which will defeat such features (I don't know whether
RHIDE uses them).
