Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

The Gnome Power Manager Manual preferences screen (specifically section 5.2) would be significantly improved by language that would distinguish between suspend and hibernate (APCI S3 and ACPI S4. A lot of newbies don't know how they differ functionally.

Admittedly, this is not really a bug or defect.
