Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
In the current dapper (amd64), remotely (XDMCP / gdm) logged user may
select "Hibernate" from the logout menu, thus (AFAIK) running gnome-
power-manager, which invokes "/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-
hibernate" through dbus, which in turn runs "/usr/bin/pmi action
hibernate", and finally /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh is run, which makes the
server hang (for all users!) until manually restarted.
When gdm handled these actions, hibernation, shutdown, reboot and the
like could be forbidden for regular users (SystemMenu=false). How to
achieve that with g-p-m? Maybe I overlooked some configuration option,
in which case I still think that NOT allowing remote users to fiddle
with the server is what shoud be the default.
