I took a patch which implements the suspend/hibernate buttons within the shutdown dialog in kde from the kubuntu guys and made it work on gentoo.

If you have no clue what this is all about here are two screenshots [1] [2] (actually these do not represent the patch exactly, but you should get the idea).

The kde split ebuild for ksmserver: ebuild (I will do the update to the kde-all-in-one ebuild on request).

To make use of the feature emerge with USE=”dbus hal”. If you don’t see any icons next to the suspend/hibernate buttons, make sure you use an icon set that provides the files “suspend.png” and “hibernate.png”.
