The importance change is not because the bug is present for some time, it's because the feature didn't work before so that's not a regression.
I've updated the hibernation patch, could anybody having the issue give it a try? The updated patch can be downloaded from http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/11_powermanagement.patch (edgy) if you want to rebuild a package with it, or an edgy amd64 build http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/gdm_2.16.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb -- hibernate doesn't work from gdm itself https://launchpad.net/bugs/3642 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
