Hi,
g-p-m invokes HAL for suspend / hibernate, so I suspect this bug report
really belongs to hal. To be sure, you should be able to invoke HAL
manually for suspend;
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend
int32:0
(It should be launched as a single long command)
