For SUSE we'd prefer D-BUS signals our powersave daemon could catch (we
recently introduced D-BUS support for the powersave daemon).  Richard,
it might be reasonable to have a look at our code base before
reinventing the wheel. The powersave daemon is desktop environment
independent.

However, if it is not possible to use D-BUS signals, we would prefer
configurable command to trigger suspend/stand-by. But we also can live
with a wraper script.

Cheers,

Danny
