[gpm] Aha! its a permission problem!

["Paul Johnson" <pauljohn32 gmail com>]

I just realized that /usr/sbin/pm-suspend worked with current Utopia
rpms, but only when logged in as root.  Here's what happens to the
ordinary user.

$ pm-suspend
bash: pm-suspend: command not found
[pauljohn pols125 ~]$ /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
/etc/pm/functions: line 43: /.suspended: Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/var/run/pm-suspend': Permission denied
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: pm-pmu: command not found
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: /sys/power/state: Permission denied
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted

What do you think?
