I have continued to play with this and now am seeing better results.  In 
fact, I am setting records with each suspend and successful resume (now 
at 13) even with compiz.  I had to do more than just install that 
package though.  "sudo aptitude purge acpi-support" took out 
[k,x]ubuntu-desktop and powermanagent-interface and installed uswsusp. 
Then "sudo aptitude purge kde-guidance-powermanager" and then "sudo 
aptitude install kpowersave".  Then I rebooted.  I am using just the 
default installation, with no changes to the configuration files, not 
even the ones you suggested.  I am running compiz in kde with kdm.  Both 
suspend and hibernate are working without error so far.  I even have 
billard-gl and glxgears running on the other desktops to raise the load. 
  This IS impressive, compared to acpi-support!
