I was beginning to think the same thing. However, this morning not
only do the login features work as expected, but also I can suspend
via Klaptop (which I've gone back to for the battery meter icon). I've
using a acpi-settings file somewhere between what you posted and the
default. I'd post it for the sake of others but, like the rest of my
Ubuntu install, it's rather buggered and patchy. I'll document
everything in more detail next time I reinstall, probably later this
year. Note that Suspend does _not_ work via simply shutting the case,
but I can accept that.

Thank you very, very much.
