yes I understand, but in my opinion the menu item and the power button take different ways to make use of the hibernate method that is exposed via dbus so if the power button on the notebook uses a program running with root privs it may explain why it works, while the user interface does not have the permissions Have you checked what you can do regarding powermanagement - I don't recall reading this in your postings $ qdbus --system org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower | grep Hibernate property read bool org.freedesktop.UPower.CanHibernate method void org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate() method bool org.freedesktop.UPower.HibernateAllowed() this means that your mate could hibernate also as normal user by using the Hibernate() method via dbus?? just a thought. I am not using gnome, I read the bug desc briefly when I was looking for solution to my issue ...
