I was hoping not to read that argument :P I know that suspend is encouraged, and I'm not against, but as we all know, this is not the most reliable feature of the GNU/Linux world... I think I'm lucky: the only problem I experience after waking up my laptop is that the screen brightness controls stop working until reboot but I'm never totally confident when I have to put my laptop to sleep... And I agree that suspending is a better solution than my proposal for maintaining a workspace state, but in the same way that we still can power off the computer, we might have another (maybe auxiliar*) way to have a minimal support of resuming states/tasks. *What if I'm in a long travel, I'm really out of battery and I don't know when I'm going to be able to plug my computer to a power source? I don't know, maybe I'm a bit paranoic :P Thank you for reading :) _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
