Ok, but you seemed to imply that KDE checks somewhere to see whether or not
hibernation is "enabled" in the system. This is what you said:

> The hibernate button appears *when your system has hibernation enabled*

So:

A) If you are not checking at all, and are just displaying a Hibernate button
no matter what (but that doesn't seem to be what you said), then I think you
should do better than that. You say it's someone else's responsibility to make
sure that hibernation works, and that's true, but that might be just impossible
on some systems, and it _is_ your responsibility to not show a Hibernate button
that fakes hibernation if hibernation is not available at all (unless someone
else is lying to you as per point C).

B) If you are supposedly checking whether hibernation is available, i.e.
working, you are not doing it correctly, because it's not on my system and yet
you show the button

C) If you are checking somewhere that hibernation is enabled (which is what I
seemed to understand from the sentence I've quoted for the third time), then
you would probably be right that it's not KDE's fault if some other piece of
the system has enabled hibernation without making sure it can work. Which is
why I'm asking WHERE you are checking whether it's enabled, so that I can
report the bug to whoever is responsible for that.
