Suspend to ram from KDE

[SILVA Luis]

Hi!

I'm running Edgy on an Acer Aspire 1694. I've got Suspend to disk handled 
through guidance while in kde and acpi events while out. My problem is 
getting Suspend to ram working. It works fine outside kde (triggering the 
sleep button or from the console, even with kdm-greeter works fine) but the 
script execution stalls right after the resume and blocks my whole acpi if 
I'm logged to KDE.

For information I'm using the fglrx driver but it doesn't seem to make a 
difference whether I use it or the radeon driver instead.
 
The relevant part of "ps -ef " after the resume looks like this:

if I use  kde-guidance and like this:

lacsilva  3154  4607  0 14:58 pts/0    00:00:00 ps -ef


if I use the sleep button.
The rest of the sleep.sh script is executed if I kill X. Then everything 
returns to normality after I re-login (well, almost...).

I hacked trough the sleep.sh script putting echo's after every command and 
traced the problem to the line:

echo -n $acpi-sleep-MODE > /sys/power/state

This line should cause trigger the sleep mode and the script SHOULD resume 
from there after wake-up.  The problem is that it stucks there.

Any suggestions on how to manage this are very welcome.
