This is a bug. Can you try one more thing? Give me the exact output of: dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.freedesktop.UPower string:CanSuspend > If the > design guys are serious about ripping off the Switch Off button from GNOME > Shell then I would suggest that they will do it _right_ the first time.

As I understand it, it will be a "Suspend/Hibernate" hybrid. That is, we go into suspend for a bit, and then go to hibernate after more time has passed. >>If you're having trouble with suspending for any reason, and that says >>suspend is supported, tell us and file a bug. > No Power Off function in GNOME Shell(regardless of pm-is-supported), that > for sure, is a bug in itself.
