Public bug reported: Binary package hint: indicator-applet
It appears that the indicator-applet menu is being a little too smart for its own good. If I have a root terminal session open on a Linux TTY (non-X), and then log in to X as a normal user, the indicator-applet is missing the suspend and hibernate options. No explanation is given of where they went or why they aren't present. The shutdown button *IS* still present, but pressing it pops up a message stating that "system policy blahdeblah other users logged in blahdeblah" and requires my password to continue under assumed privileges. This is proper behavior. I recommend that whatever check is being performed by the indicator- applet to determine the system's ability to suspend or hibernate be reevaluated; a situation where suspending is temporarily not allowed due to another logged-in user does *not* mean the system will never be capable of suspending. Removing a button users expect is, regardless, a severe papercut.
