If you don't need suspend, perhaps you can disable it?  Though I'm not 
sure if that will make it stop.

If you can't solve the problem, and you don't need fancy Power 
Management services, you can `yum remove gnome-power-manager`.  I did 
that and also removed gnome-screensaver, replacing both with 
xscreensaver.  I don't use suspend or hibernate, but I do want the 
display to sleep, and, as a bonus, I get better looking screensavers.  
I did lose the ability to switch users without first unlocking the 
screen.
