Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I use Ubuntu Jaunty with latest updates.
Problem: hibernate/suspend doesn't work via gnome menu or gnome-power-cmd.sh 
command
Steps to reproduce:
1. power on your system.
2. log in
3. open some window
4. Run Menu -> Shut Down... -> Hibernate/Suspend
What should happens: system should be hibernated/suspended
What happens: screen just locks

As far as I know, these commands also can be executed via gnome-power-cmd.sh 
command, so here log of this commands:
> gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend
Suspending
*here lock screen happens*
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible 
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus 
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network 
connection was broken.
Failed
> gnome-power-cmd.sh hibernate
Hibernating

Possible solution:
hibernate/suspend system via pm-utils like this:
sudo(!) pm-hibernate or sudo(!) pm-suspend - without root privileges these 
commands won't run; it's a possible solution, but it has at least two 
inconvenient moments:
1. you must run it from terminal (so, you can't binding this action at some key 
- for example, at power button)
2. you must type your password each time for hibernate/suspend, which pretty 
annoying

P.S. I've tested it at asus eeepc 901, if this significance.
P.P.S. I don't exclude, that only me have this issue, but, however, it's very 
strange issue, so, if you have any clues about this, welcome - i will be very 
appreciate for any useful information about this.
