It's maybe better not to delete the file via desktop. 

I would prefer a mechanism to maybe rename the file automatically (or 
something like that) instead of delete the log. 

The best would be if the tool wich call the suspend (as e.g. pm-utils) would 
log to a file with date and time in the filename. By this you also can report 
the information later and e.g. attach the logfile to a bugreport if you 
ignore a message from the desktop. The old files can be deleted automatically 
by pm-utils if there are e.g. more than 5 or 10 files or they can be handled 
by logrotate.
