            Bug ID: 15257
           Summary: Hibernate button missing for no obvious reason.
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: 4.12.0
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: lockywolf at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

On my laptop (Dell Latitude E6420), hibernation through
panel->menu->logout->hibernate worked perfectly.
(Slackware-current)

Until one of the updates of the system broke it, and when I open the same
window panel->menu->logout, there is no 'hibernate' button, and the huge
'suspend' button occupies the screen space of both.

The problem is not the 'unavailability' of the hibernate button. It was
probably broken by one of my updates (probably the kernel).

The problem is that now I'm completely clueless that such a function even
exists in XFCE. (Or I would have been clueless if I hadn't used this feature
before.)

Could the honourable XFCE developers implement a warning label on the logout
window, saying something 'Your system is missing X, so I hibernation is not
supported.'

Then debugging such issues would be much less of a task.

Thank you.

(The version is:
lockywolf at delllaptop:~/to-print/farnam/fs.blog$ xfce4-session-logout --version
xfce4-session 4.12.1 (Xfce 4.12)
