hibernate option shown when no swap file exists karmic

Hibernate should be disabled system-wide when no swap space exists.

I have a hibernate button on the shut down menu and my machine supports hibernation, but when I press the button I get a response as if the machine would suspend and the screen blanks for a moment, but then returns as quickly as it went away, with no warning as to what happend or what failed. I know that I cannot hibernate because I did not allocate a swap file on the install.

In addition, during the install when opting to proceed with no swap, it should be noted in the existing alert that hibernate will be disable, and it should be disabled, please advise where I should post that as its own bug/suggestion.
