Actually I think this is related to NetworkManager.  Upon resume from
suspend, NetworkManager service is crashing, due to not being able to
get back on dbus.  I think there is a race with user authorization to
get back on the bus, and thus NM crashes.  Things that are expecting to
find NM information then crash, like pidgin, and virt-manager.  This all
seems a bit fragile, but I bet if we can keep NetworkManager from
crashing upon resume, these things will stop crashing too.
