Configuration of permission to suspend/hibernate is now to be handled
by "PolicyKit" which is accessed by hal-based programs. In the
change-over to PolicyKit, permissions default to root-only suspend.
Hence one must liberalize the PolicyKit permissions first, and then
put suspend/hibernate back into menus. The development version of
g-p-m does show suspend and hibernate. But suspend does not appear in
themain system menu, AFAIK.

I suspect it might be a Fedora issue as the option to suspend in
gnome-power-manager are gone too (you can do nothing or shutdown for
most of the options).So I'm not sure if they're getting smarter and
only enabling the option for known working configs (I think my Dell
D620 has issues) or whether is borked for development in general at
the moment.
