No, that's a property of hibernation (at least the version I was using), in
that it changed the partition signature such that if the resume failed, you
could no longer use the partition for swap - so you had to use mkswap.

Or the hibernation process.

Beats me, surely gparted is a gnome app.

Yes, well, I keep missing these modules in the "advanced" tab...  Sorry.

However, I've got an entry for that in System Settings, but it doesn't load. 
That's not the only module that's broken.  The message is most
uninformative:

"The module .... could not be loaded"
"Possible reasons:
- An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade...
- You have old third party modules"

What I think it really means is "you never installed that module", and I
can't find out what the module name IS and therefore what package it should
be IN.
