Suspend works alright on my Asus 62E (Zareason lightlap) but when I wake
the machine up from suspending, it briefly shows the entire screen
contents before giving a pssword /login prompt to allow the user to
authenticate.  This means anyone coming across the machine when asleep
can get a glimpse (it's more than a glimpse, often) of whatever was in
veiwe before sleep was engaged.  This is a privacy / security threat.
Moreover, it didn't used to happen until 8.10 (I believe) or some update
since.  Is it just that some graphics buffer needs to be cleared before
sleeping?
