Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

With jaunty i had and still have several quality issues. One of them is
that vlc segfaults after playing one song. Until this will be fixed (bug
is reported), I tried not to use it, because it causes my notebook not
to suspend-to-ram anymore. But i forgot it, and now again I'm sitting
here, ready to go, but can't.

Some of the obviously too complex programs pass messages to each other. I 
cannot tell wo tells whom what. Gone are the good old days of a comprehensive, 
deterministic unix system. But back to the problem. The gnome-power-manager 
icon talks to me "
Anforderung einer Aktion

vlc verhinderte die Ausführung der Aktion: Playing some media.."
(what could, on an english speaking system, may appear as "Demand of an action: 
vlc prevented the execution of an action: Playing some media.."

There's no vlc running. VLC segfaulted many hours ago. But jaunty still
patronizes me, thinking to know it better than I and refuses the suspend
process to complete.

Here's an strace of the communication:
