Package: gnome-flashback
Version: 3.10.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

Using GNOME flashback under testing there is no way to trigger the following actions
when sticking to graphical interface (one could of course use CLI):
  - suspend
  - hibernate
  - reboot

gnome-session-quit (which is called by the menu) is only able to shutdown/lock
(or reboot if called from CLI, not from default menu).

This is pretty annoying since calling suspend/hibernate from CLI (like systemctl hibernate) leaves the session unlocked.
A way is to script or create a launcher around "gnome-screensaver-command -l & sleep5 ; systemctl hibernate" or alike.

Currently as a workaround I am using lxde-logout with a launcher.
