Wow...you're a smart cookie. I do run VMWare and the behaviour 
that you're describing fits my experiences. I've just recently 
installed Kubuntu a couple of times and resume works out of the 
box and then...sooner or later...it starts to fail. I'll be those 
failures coincide with when I finally get around to reinstalling 
VMWare (typically a couple of days after I reinstall the system).

I'll definitely play around with this to see what there is to see. 
I'd love to get my suspend back. I'll report what happens.

Thanks, Gustin - much appreciated.
