Add a suspend menu option to system menu This is specific to Distros which don't use Systemd, which the latest Gnome 3.8 uses for suspend functionality. This would include Gentoo, and I think some others, but which ones they are I am not sure. Though it is possible to install and use Systemd on Gentoo, as the packages are there. If the Distro you're using uses Systemd then this extension is unnecessary.
Note: Binary files aren't shown on the web site. To see all files, please download the extension zipfile.

About the only thing I'm guilty of here is not giving a good description. This extension is useless to any distro with systemd but for anyone running a distro without systemd like Gentoo, wanting to run gnome 3.8 and still have the suspend option, it gives them the suspend button option back in the user menu. It also gives back the ability of laptops when their lid is closed to suspend. It still needs work as there is no locking of screens yet. If a extension already existed to do this for me, I'd be using it, not wasting my time writing JavaScript, which is a language I'd rather avoid. This entire process is new to me, and I understand the duplicate call, but as I said, I don't think that is true.
Ok, please edit the description to mention that this is Gentoo specific thing (AFAIK, Ubuntu and Debian have logind too, starting from 13.04/testing)
