S3 might be OK for LiveCDs, but I think HAL should disable hibernate on the LiveCD. It does not make sense for individual applications to decide whether hibernate is available, this really needs to be done in HAL, also for consistency reasons.
That also holds true for the buggy hibernate case. The "multi users" case might be solved via permission (i.e. you have to be in a certain group to be able to suspend / hibernate, dunno if that's already the case). Again, this needs to be solved on the HAL level. -- Not an option to hide or disable the "Hibernate computer" button in the logout screen of KDE https://launchpad.net/bugs/70454 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
