So its been awhile since I have updated anyone on the situation but its
weird I am now using Kernel: 

christopher at COMPAQ:~$ uname -r
3.13.0-29-generic
christopher at COMPAQ:~$ 


the newest Kernel and it seems like the pc has been suspended ( well
using hibernate at night) 

christopher at COMPAQ:~$ uptime
11:41:56 up 1 day, 17:37,  2 users,  load average: 0.03, 0.07, 0.22
christopher at COMPAQ:~$ 


It seems like if I use LXTERM to pm-suspend and pm-hibernate I dont get
the whole put in your password and either the screen goes blank and goes
back to the log in screen or in terminal just sits there and goes back
to a christopher at COMPAQ:~$ prompt after giving LXTERM my password

I shall continue testing this and let you know what happens soon!
