Comment 5 for bug 446191

Yes. It's a new 'feature' in Gnome - but Chris has logged a bug for it (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598118), so I guess we'll just have to wait.

I've changed over to using the indicator applet to suspend, but the applet takes up valuable real estate so it's not a good workaround.
