Bug#791394: missing hibernate button

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.14.0-2
Severity: important

After upgrading to jessie and logging in with the standard GNOME 3
desktop, I do not find any hibernate button in the status menu.

Other bug reports suggested that this function is now optional and
requires the "Alternative Status Menu" extension from the package
gnome-shell-extensions

However, that package no longer seems to have such an extension since
3.14 (see comments here:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5/alternative-status-menu/ )

In any case, it seems absurd to remove the hibernate button.

So many people use laptops these days, removing a function like this
ensures that all these users feel irritated every time they try to
hibernate.  Repetitively irritating people doesn't help promote free
software.

Usually, if it is the end of the work day and you are in a hurry to
catch a train or something you don't want to be messing around with
something like this and looking in Google "How do I hibernate with
Debian jessie?", you just want to click and be done with it.

Every time I help a friend or somebody upgrade to jessie, do I have to
remember to explain this issue to them?  Are they going to ring up the
next day after realizing this is missing?

It actually leaves me wondering if there are other things that have been
silently stripped out of GNOME and far more cautious about encouraging
people to upgrade because they will call me up asking to put things back.
