Yes, I read that. I actually considered filing a similar bug before seeing this one. I agree with the problem of data loss outlined there. Still, please do not just remove the scripts, as they are very useful for those people who want them. I'd propose to disable them by default, and tell the user how to activate / customize them. Doing this through debconf would probably be a good idea. Something like "do you want to enable the power and sleep button?". > > I propose to add a similar entry for the sleep button, which activates > > suspend-to-RAM.

That could also be enabled at the user's request, for those who want it (and on whose systems suspend-to-RAM works...). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
