Both hibernate and sleep actions *can* be triggered from the battery icon, and will properly suspend and resume. Running xev, the key is detected and forwarded up to Gnome by X, so I believe X is doing whatever it's supposed to do. The output from xev is: KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 7902503, (870,331), root:(876,404), state 0x4, keycode 213 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False I can also hook XF86Standby to other Gnome actions, like launching the help browser, using gnome-keybinding-properties, and it successfully launches the help browser. So the key events are getting handled and propagated. However, from what I understand, hooking the key to Suspend in gnome-keybinding-properties is an obsolete way for setting this up. Regardless, it doesn't work anyway; the event seems to get lost somewhere in gdm and never runs the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend command that it seems to be configured to trigger. Running that command from the console does work at triggering sleep though. ADDRESSING: This bug has been addressed via a one-line patch to gnome-power- manager. Jaunty is unaffected because HAL send XF86Standby as dbus event. TEST CASE: To reproduce this bug, try pressing the key that corresponds to XF86Standby. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: There is no regression potential. This patch simply enables a hotkey that was disabled (and mislabeled) previously.
