====== Suspend instead of Shutdown ======
Surely this has been discussed extensively, I just want to mention
that suspend simply does not work for me (tested on two computers,
both do not wake up correctly).
I guess they do not want to listen as I recall.
Generally I like the gnome philosophy of simplifying things by
removing options. But leaving non-technical users with a default
setting that does not work is not a good choice.
It should only be a default if we detect you computer can support it.
Can you give us some hardware details, and try:
pm-utils --suspend && echo "Supported" || echo "Not supported"
in a terminal?
IMO, the presence of "Suspend" should be only available to development
builds(or optional in stable releases). I only once use "Suspend" in my
system because it will mess the system and I will be forced to use the
_reset_ button and I will never use it again as it may physically damage
the Hard Drive. Calling the terminal is just a band aid, it doesn't work
at large.
