Any progress on this front?

I recently had cause to start carting my laptop around much more 
frequently than I had been up to that point (my laptop had been pretty 
much a desktop system for all intents and purposes).  And I quickly 
found that suspend/resume was mia for Xfce.  I have no idea what kind of 
support exists in Xfce44 for laptop suspend/resume but I now know that 
Gnome suspect/resume support (in the soon to be FC6 distro) is terrific.
Of course then I had to wrestle with Gnome and suspend/resume and a 
wealth of "plugin" features but no B5 theme and no main/system context 
menu vs Xfce with B5 and great menus and just a nice feel but no 
suspend/resume and no plugins.  It was a hard and raucous battle but 
Xfce finally won out. :-)  Life will sure be a lot better when plugins 
are available, not to mentions suspend/resume.
