OK - I guess I don't like it because Mac OS X and Windows do nothing of the
sort and it takes long enough
to resume from suspend in Debian as-is.  I understand the security risk - it
definitely seems worthwhile to do this if your system is being left in a
public place -  though it becomes less of a concern if this isn't the case.
In any case, it would be nice to have this as a GUI-configurable option in
g-p-m - the gconf key will do for now, though...

Thanks for responding, though...

Cheers,
