No, but this sheds a little light elsewhere. About a year ago I was on
LXDE, and suddenly the GUI shutdown and reboot stopped working. I spent
a month or so typing in a password in order to shut down my single-user
workstation, then got fed up with it. There seemed to be no suggestion
as to when it might be fixed, nor any hint that I needed to install
anything else, so I switched to Xfce.
I've never got suspend, hibernate etc. to stay working properly on sid
for any length of time, and the only non-sid Linux installation I have
is a server, so I don't use them.
