Is IceWM even under active development any more? It had a reasonable
following before KDE and GNOME became the primary desktops, especially
with slower hardware ten years ago. As I recall, one simply used the
keys on the laptop designated for suspend and hibernate. I suspect that
some modern hardware expect the OS to provide those controls. IceWM
would not prevent adding a menu entry to run a script to suspend or
hibernate, in fact, I may have done just that in years gone by.
