I too have now hibernate in the desktop session without killing any process. I had modified the .pkla file earlier as described in #13 and today after a reboot it finally works without any further tricks. I had used pm-hibernate successfully for the last 5 days, and at least yesterday I installed some updates.

Now the hibernate option is missing. I followed the instructions on how to reenable hibernate (https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html) but the option is still missing. Hibernating from terminal via s2disk works.
