That's interesting. But on nv b101, "man gnome-sys-suspend" gave me:
ATTRIBUTES
     See   attributes(5)   for   descriptions  of  the  following
     attributes:
     ____________________________________________________________
    |_______ATTRIBUTE_TYPE________|_______ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_______|
    |_Availability________________|_SUNWgnome-sys-suspend_______|
    |_Interface_stability_________|_Volatile____________________|

And copy the following section from Randy Fishel's mail.

"However, the PM teams are working on a proposal for a library and 
cli's which would provide the committed API's to be used for power 
management control (and for things like GPM and/or HAL to consume) 
which would make /usr/openwin/bin/sys-syspend obsolete.  That is not 
part of this case, but is made for reference."
