Can I make a suggestion to enhance the use-case?

In addition to the timer you can set a specific time to shutdown. This would be more useful so that you can say "turn me off at midnight if I've forgotten to shutdown".

Would be also very useful to make this a "always on" option so that you dont have to remember to go back into the applet to restart the shutdown sequence.

I think the notification need to be fixted, I made a slight change to the python code.
Hope to be usefull.

original notification command at line 213
subprocess.Popen(['notify-send', "{} at {}".format(self.selection,self.timestr),'-i','shutdown-timer']) # Send Notification.
and line 220
subprocess.Popen(['notify-send', "Scheduled {} cancelled".format(self.selection),'-i','shutdown-timer'])

changes aded:
line 213
subprocess.Popen(['notify-send', "Shutdown Timer",'-i','shutdown-timer', "{} at {}".format(self.selection,self.timestr)]) # Send Notification.

and line 220
subprocess.Popen(['notify-send',"Shutdown Timer",'-i','shutdown-timer',"Scheduled {} cancelled".format(self.selection)])

It`s not a big deal but I think it looks great

If the user initiates a suspension whilst the applet is running, after coming out of suspension the timer continues to work and then will initiate a second shutdown/suspension etc.

Kind of confusing.

Suggestion - disable suspension whilst running.

i.e. if the applet is running, read & store /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-ac-type, temporarily set it to nothing

EDIT: similar key for on battery of a laptop on battery, the key is (of course) /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-battery-type - both should be set to nothing.

Then reset to what was previously set afterwards when the applet ended its job but before initiating shutdown/suspension etc.
