Xfce 4.12 and hybrid suspend (aka hybrid sleep)
 

Hi,

The in-development Xfce recently received support for hybrid suspend.
But it'll take some time before it enters stable Slackware ;-)

I decided to give it a shot and tried to back-port it to Xfce 4.12.
And it seems to be working fine ;-)

The module that has to be patched and recompiled is xfce4-session.
You'll find the patch and the xfce4-session.SlackBuild attached to this message.

If you plan to try it out, please make sure you download the source code tarball from xfce4-session-4.12.1 git snapshot and that you don't use the source provided with Slackware.

Also, before reporting problems, make sure your system can actually hybrid suspend with the following run as root:
For reference, I also attach the diff (based-on-hybrid-sleep.diff) that I used to make my patch.
This diff comes from the git commit that added the support in the upstream code (the one I provided at the beginning).
Should you spot something wrong, please let me know.

Have fun :-)
