Description Mads Kiilerich 2007-10-11 23:47:16 UTC
Description of problem:
On a fresh machine I can add a suspend icon to the top panel in gnome; it is
found in the "add to panel" list.
But after I removed it from the panel it is no longer in the add list.
To me it seems to be bogus - but not fully understod - behaviour.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I really don't know which package the suspend panel-"applet" belongs to. My
guess would be gnome-panel or gnome-power-manager...

How reproducible:
I have seen it on two machines

Steps to Reproduce:
?

Additional info:
A manual pm-suspend works, but then I have to add the hal-info quirks by hand...

Comment 1 Mads Kiilerich 2007-11-05 15:22:22 UTC
I have the same problem in F8; no suspend applet can be chosen. If that isn't a
bug, then consider it a feature request ;-)

In F8 I can suspend by choosing "System shutdown" - but that isn't intuitive and
too "dangerous" considering that I want to keep my applications running.

On a laptop with the battery status icon shown I can suspend by clicking on the
icon. That's nice but not intuitive - and I miss it on my desktop pc.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 14:43:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Mads Kiilerich 2008-05-14 21:59:50 UTC
Problem remains with F9. Reading the source of gnome-panel I can see that the
applets might be missing because they are in disabled_applets, but I can't find
this configured anywhere.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 16:15:25 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
