    I meant that: Only say suspend works if the whole thing works.

    E.g. When going to suspend, set some flag somewhere and sync it to
    disk.
    When coming out of suspend, remove the flag. Now when booting,
    check if
    the flag is set. If so, ask to/disable suspend.

    Then the whole UI will automatically adjust because it will know
    suspend
    is broken.

That still wouldn't work for some cases, including mine: my desktop resumes, but the fan noise is intolerable until I reboot.

Why is Gnome Shell relying so heavily on something that is notoriously difficult to make work across a wide array of hardware configurations?

And why discourage shutting down to begin with? It saves power and booting is getting faster all the time anyway...

I believe that in Vista as well, the "shutdown" button was relegated to a less accessible position in favour of Suspend. I agree that it makes more sense for laptop users than desktops, but suspend being the next best thing to the fabled "fast-boot", it (suspend) does need to be fixed; but not by Gnome.
