Ah, this is not as bad as mine, gnome just crashes :)

Anyhow, on mjg's suggestion I edited /etc/default/acpi-support to make
"POST_VIDEO" false, and tested overnight. this made it worse sadly, now
it just resumes to a black screen, and I have to reboot, rather than at
least getting a crashed gnome and being able to restart gdm.
