EOF of gnome-sys-suspend [LSARC/2008/669 FastTrack timeout 11/11/2008]

[Gary Winiger]

Brian,

	I've not followed along for a while, so excuse my ignorance.
	How will this relate to/affect things like the recent work in
	uadmin(1M) to bring the system down properly with relationship
	to the audit subsystem?  I've left this intact and Cc-ed Randy
	because recently he said that he was doing stuff in this area
	relative to lid closure events.  I believe there's also some
	work going on to EOF sys-suspend(1M) (/usr/openwin/bin/sys-syspend).
	Is there any relationship with that project?

Thankx,
Gary..
