personally I feel like fish slapping is far more succesful.

Thanks for the pep talk. ;-]

Ah, so I'm not the only one to be having issues.  I was pretty sure it
worked well when I started using F7.

I get this weird thing where hibernate just kicks in some times while
I'm actively doing things (which is the last time I expect hibernate to
kick in.)

Also, after a couple of suspend/resumes, my system can need a double lid
shut to get suspend to happen.  The first time you close the lid, it
doesn't suspend, and then if you open and close the lid again then it
happens.  Reboot the system and it all works as expected.
