The problem here is the D-Bus timeouts, nothing can be set here to fix 
it, any timeout set for suspend/hibernate messages will possibly 
produces this error message, so one has to ignore it, 
gnome-power-manager ignores this and xfce4-power-manager as well, in 
xfce4-power-manager there is a filter to get only serious errors with 
respect  also with the exit code sent by HAL ( if we manage to get it ), 
this approach seems to work.
