Package: gnome-applets Version: 2.8.2-3 Severity: minor Hello,
the battery status applet provides a context-menu entry entitled 'Suspend Computer'. If the user has an apm-aware kernel and the apmd package installed without any other changes, this option will report "The Suspend command '/usr/bin/apm -s' was unsuccessful." This is due to bug #134595, namely, only root can suspend the computer by default. Setuid'ing /usr/bin/apm is one way of fixing this. Now I think that gnome-panel should perhaps report more useful error messages, but this but really depends on the aformentioned #134595 and what might happen to make users calling /usr/bin/apm possible. -- Jon Dowland
