GNOME Odd Automatic Suspend After Idle and Key Press

So I have an odd issue with my automatic suspend.  I am using Arch 64-bit with GNOME and gdm.  Suspend works fine with the "systemctl suspend" command.  When I set automatic suspend in the GNOME Control Center and let the alotted time pass and press any key on my keyboard my system immediately goes down for suspend.  I press a key again and she wakes up. I have left my system overnight to automatically suspend to no avail. 

I never had this problem with Ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10.  I also do not have this problem with Windows 7.  I know that the Arch Power Management page tells us not to have acpid with GNOME and I do not have acpid installed.

Maybe try disabling any screensavers (if any), just for testing.
