But is it possible to enable 'Suspend the computer' in the logout dialog
easily or do I need to patch say gdm?

The point is the logout dialog is the wrong place to put that choice. Suspending is not a function of logging out; nor is the vice versa. When you resume from a suspend, you want your desktop session to be in the same state as you left it -- logged in, with all your applications the way you left them. A logout will clear your current session and all session services, and force you to log in once again almost as if you rebooted your machine. They are completely separate things.

Why not put it, then in the Desktop drop down menu *along* with log-out, so you'd have log-out *and* suspend in the same menu, but doing different actions?
