hmmm...  fooling around, i find that i can suspend pretty reliably from
the command line

sudo pm-suspend

but that the gnome-power-manager dialog reliably fails to resume; this
despitethe fact that it seemsto be using pm-suspend, as it writes a
suspend log to /var/log/pm-suspend.  not sure what's going on there.
