I thought already about that but don't know how pbbuttonsd could support this 
yet.

I look at the swsusp patch which is controlled by a huge script (about 40 kB) 
and take a lot of details into account. It checks a lot of driver issues 
which must be suspended and reloaded appropriately. I haven't any idea yet 
how pbbuttonsd could control such a complicated system.

I must confess I haven't spent much time on this issue. If anybody have good 
ideas or suggestions please let me know.
