Don't we need the internal API in QWebFrame even if this behavior is tied to suspend/resume?

Our browser is already suspending/resuming the web engine based on the state of the browser window (active/inactive).

So we will know the state of the web engine when we attempt to start/stop the sensor and thus in our browser code, we will call start/stop in the same event handler that suspends/resumes web engine on receipt of WindowActivated/deactivated event.

Is this what was meant by fixing suspend/resume?   

Or do we wish to stop/start the sensor within the webkit code that actually performs suspend/resume?

If the latter is the case, won't we face the same problem of forcing all clients of webkit (whether they want to or not) to start/stop the sensor when they perform suspend/resume?
