For resume issues, I found that

sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart

does wonder (better than having to log out, that way you keep you 
applications open); I don't know if it would work in your case, but it 
does for 100% of the resume problems I had - as far as I'm able to 
sleep/hibernate in the first place, that is :)
