Product: kpowersave
Version: 0.7.3
Distribution: Debian Sid

kpowersave currently fails silently if an attempt to suspend via a HAL
D-BUS call fails, which can be very frustrating to the user.

My specific situation (which I suspect is common) was that I was not
in the powerdev group, which was required by the D-BUS policy for the
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement interface.
kpowersave would silently fail to make the D-BUS call and my laptop
would not suspend.  kpowersave should have reported the AccessDenied
error and, if possible, informed me that I needed to be in the
powerdev group.
