All the same, pm-utils does not come as part of a default install.  It's a
dependency of kpowersave, and kpowersave isn't part of kubuntu-desktop (any
more - it was once, iirc).  I'd be hugely surprised if the _default_
kde-guidance-powermanager doesn't handle hibernate/resume properly without
doing anything like the above.
