The UPower API was *always* broken as there wasn't a way to delay the suspend
while you did things, it would send the signal and suspend even if you were in
the middle of saving your data for example.

I'm pretty sure that UPower could be fixed to send the signal, but it would
have the same caveat which makes it unusable right now.
