DeviceKit-power has a can-suspend property, that GUI clients read and decide whether to show a suspend button. Session programs including gdm, gnome-session and gnome-power-manager already do this.
If an admin wants to disable suspend system-wide (either becuase it does work, can't work, or is forbidden by company policy) then they're a little out of luck in a DeviceKit world, as devkit-power-daemon just looks at the hardware and doesn't allow an override. So, if I wanted to add a trivial override (to disable suspend) should we: 1) have a very small DeviceKit-power.conf file living in /etc? 2) have a udev property that people can write a rule for? 3) both? The latter allows DMI matching and that sort of thing, so is probably better. The problem is for which "device" to set this key. Ideas welcome (/sys/power?). Thanks.
