Hide Forgot
Until quite recently in Fedora 16 (between the beta and the release candidate?), using the sleep button on the computer worked. This was tested on a desktop computer and on a Thinkpad T43p. Pressing the sleep button on the desktop computer (or fn+F4 on the Thinkpad) used to work, now it does nothing. Sleep on lid close works, sleep from the gnome shell session menu works, timed sleep works.
This happens to me on my Thinkpad R60e. I preupgraded from Fedora 15 x86_64 to Fedora 16 x86_64. Both the Fn+F4 suspend and Fn+F12 hibernate don't work. Suspend button of the gnome-shell menu works.
This also happens to me on my Thinkpad R61i. I'm using the x86_64 live cd now, Fn+F4 does nothing. Suspend button of the gnome-shell menu works.
Does this still happen in F16 with all the updates? Thanks.

After yesterday's updates (2011-11-17) it works again.

Indeed this is fixed with the latest updates. My next bug is now bug #751567 where gnome-shell/gnome-session/something always tries to re-lock the screen after waking up from idle-triggered suspend.
