I wasn't picking on you Richard but I'm sure translators will take any help they can get though. I see no big functional difference between the two, might it not be possible just to have one suspend function based on what works best for the platform and having the other (be that STR or STD) be available say via a gconf key. I assume we could catch botched resumes and inform the user that say STR would no longer be the default as it appears unsupported currently. This way we'd have fewer options and the same level of functionality. I suppose LHCP long term will be helpful in tracking down broken drivers (Matthew Garrett claims to drink heavily due to driver suspend/resume bugs - let's save Matthew' poor liver). Do I need to put down the crack pipe? - David -- "Ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible propositions.
