Bug#982158: xfce4-power-manager: suspend is broken
Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 4.16.0-1
Severity: normal
Suspend (to RAM) has been working on my machine for years, but it broke
a couple of months ago. When I try the keyboard shortcut I've configured
(that has worked for years), I get an error popup window:
Received error while trying to log out
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs:
Type of message, "(yb)", does not match expected type "(b")
(I've googled this message and found other references to it, but no
clear solution / interpretation:

When I try the little "sleepy moon" icon, I get a different popup window:
Failed to run action "Suspend"
GDBus.Error:org.xfce.SessionManager.Error.Failed: Failed to lock the screen.
Suspending via "systemctl suspend" works fine.
