Yes, but I don't know a single laptop this works correctly for. You
could argue the same about Standby, Hibernate and Shutdown. Maybe
another method TimedSleep or something?

Hmm. I figured they could all be just stubs that return NoHardware or
PermissionDeniedByPolicy or something like that. Maybe an error of
NotImplemented should be added to the spec. A stub in python is only a
few lines of code, and then we stop lazy XFCE (joke!) people from not
implimenting the whole base spec.
