Sorry, this was typo on my side.
I'm suspending to ram with /usr/sbin/s2ram which comes with uswsusp package.

I'm using quite a different window manager (dwm) and don't know how to
configure Gnome corectly for suspending. I have a little script in my $PATH
which says:
------------------------
#!/bin/sh
sudo s2ram
exec slock;
------------------------
and I run it when I want to suspend. Similary for hibernate (just replace
s2ram -> s2disk).
slock locks the screen after wakening-up.
Gnome doesn't suspend or hibernate for me "by clicking", but using s2ram and
s2disk work without problems.
Problably someone knows how to make Gnome suspend in a "user-friendly" way. I
would be interested to know, but I have no time (and no need) to investigate
furher in Gnome configuration.
