Re: Unpriviledged remote suspend

The button showing is a bug but it should be harmless as you need
console_user access for it to do anything.  If you happen to be logged
in at the console also (i.e. jeff's mention
of /var/run/console/console.lock) then suspend will work as the account
is assumed to be the same user.
