Thanks Ted, your package works as expected. As we are close to release,
I have added a simple test case to the original bug description for the
benefit of those experiencing this problem, and the sponsor.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet
Sometimes when I log in, I only see 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' options in
the f-u-s-a. If I remove the applet from the panel and re-add it, then
the 'suspend' and 'hibernate' options magically appear in the drop-down,
in addition to the already existing 'restart' and 'shutdown'.
I suspect that there is a race between gnome-power-manager and the fast-
user-switch-applet. gnome-panel (and f-u-s-a) starts in the 'Panel'
phase of gnome-session, long before gnome-power-manager starts (in the
'Applications' phase).

Doesn't always display suspend / hibernate options (race between g-p-m and
f-u-s-a?)
