Suspend/hibernate support

[Gullible Jones]

IMHO it would be good to have options to suspend and hibernate in the logout dialog, as in LXDE, so that old (or simply slow and rubbishy) laptops can benefit fully from TinyMe. For what it's worth, it's possible to invoke suspend with

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend \
int32:0

and hibernate with

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Hibernate

Of course it would be best to lock the screen beforehand, so you'd want something like

Code:

xscreensaver-command --lock &
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.$ACTION

My experience shows that hibernate and suspend generally don't work with PCLinuxOS.
