Well, I can file a new bug if you like but still it doesn't seem that there is a good place to discuss this regarding the usual ignorance of mailing list posts on this topic which I can understand due to the bad signal/noise ratio. > There is some information about what we're trying to achieve with the > system stop options here: > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/SystemStopRestart There is absolutely no information about why suspend is the default apart from telling that this is what happens when you close the lid on a laptop. I think you can argue that it might be a reasonable default for laptops but it is not at all a reasonable default for a desktop PC. And this is not discussed at all in the linked page. On a desktop for me there are the following links * I'am done with it for now (= I go home/out now) -> power off * I'am done with it currently (= lunchbreak) -> suspend * I want to install an update (= Restart) I never changed batteries in my desktop nor do I usually disconnect the power cord (though I switch it off to save the standby power of the ATX-Power-Supply and the monitor, which badly kills suspend-to-ram). Maybe German's are more energy aware than other people in the world but this is definitely common in Germany. And companies generally require employees to shutdown their desktop when they go home.
