That seems to be wrong. I now modified /usr/sbin/pmi and added
this to the very beginning (after #! /bin/bash, of course *G*):

logger -t pmi "In $0 - pmi"
logger -t pmi "command = $1"
logger -t pmi "event = $2"

When I manually execute pmi, 3 entries are found in the syslog (as
was to be expected). When I hit the "hibernate" button on the logout
screen, those messages do *NOT* get added to the syslog. Thus, pmi
isn't executed.

Hmm - is g-p-m actually involved in all that?
