Thanks but no need, it's just the changelog, already fixed it.

This is a workaround, so the drop-in is the only way. The correct fix
is for the functionality to stop relying on the user session being
runnable to come out of suspension, as that's the real problem. I
realize you can't fix this, but at least it should be reported
upstream, asking them to fix it (they probably won't, I know)
