Well, I think I just managed to patch xfce4-session 4.7 to always lock the screen on suspend/hibernate, so I'll probably put back the buttons, and no extra work from you will be needed. ;) Natty seems rather broken since the latest gtk+ update (2.23.3) though, so it isn't uploaded yet… I'll post here when I upload it. -- Lionel Le Folgoc - https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit E61E 116D 4BA1 3936 0A33 F61D 65D9 A66E 10E2 969A -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690784 Title: Suspend and Hibernate options are not available -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
