Description Daniel Thaler 2008-10-21 14:55:55 UTC 
Version:           KDE 4.1.2 (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

I'm now running kde 4 on my work notebook. Suspend works too! Lucky me.
Unfortunately I still cannot use suspend because company policy requires that the screen must be locked when I am absent. KDE 4 offers no option to automatically lock the screen when it resumes. So effectively a suspended PC is not locked and I may not use that feature...

My understanding is that KDE uses HAL to trigger suspend. Perhaps KDE could also receive notifications about resume from HAL/DBUS and use them to lock the screen?
Just locking after the suspend button on the logout menu is pressed is not sufficient, as my Notebook includes a suspend hotkey which works fine.

Other info:
 - I'm running Arch Linux and using Arch's Kde 4.1.2 binary packages

With PowerDevil you can configure that. This will definitely be part of 4.2, I don't know about the 4.1.x releases.

Cool, that works for me.
