At first I wanted to agree with you.
But then I wondered, how do you know, if the suspend/resume cycle was
successful?
A freezing display doesn't necessarily lock up the machine completely,
so the chance that a fdi file is written is pretty high.

The only way to be absolutely certain is, to ask the user after resume.
But that would make the script interactive....

Cheers,
Michael
