None of this gnome/kde/hal/pm-utils hibernation stuff will work if the laptop task is installed w/o a desktop, will it? And what about XFCE? (It's possible to run pm-hibernate at the shell, but you can't pass all the quirk information to it that hal does, so doing so is basically useless.) pm-utils was not ready to replace acpi-support last time I looked at it. acpi-support does a lot of stuff that it doesn't. Also, I was underimpressed at the quality of its code. It globbed files in the current directory, and is a #!/bin/bash script (ugh!). -- see shy jo
