Profiles don't work when you need to go into the preferences to switch
them. Especially in that case when it's to work-around what an
application does.

The way the system behaves should really be "helped" by the
applications. If the application knows that the user is reading a book,
then it should disable idle. That's already what Totem and Evince do
when you're watching a movie or doing a presentation.
