Suspend won't fade out if called from power button

[viajador]

If one clicks UserName » Suspend, we get a nice and elegant Fade Out. If one assigns the Power Button to Suspend, then when we press it we get the screen to just go black, instead of the elegant fading out.

In both cases Suspend works fine and the computer awakes fine, so this is just a "I wish it was prettier bug" ;)

I'm using UNR 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a Asus 1005HA EeePC.

Update:

I found another problem (a more serious one) in suspending pressing the Power button: it won't block the session.

If I suspend via USER »» SUSPEND TO RAM, when I wake the netbook it asks me for my password. This doesn't happen when I suspend via the Power button.

Not blocking the session also happens when I just close the netbook lid.

Not blocking the session is more of a serious thing than the fadout issue. Please adress it.

My issue is tiny, but maybe it'll provide a clue:
From the System menu -> Shut Down... -> Suspend the screen fades completely as needed.
From the Power button, the computer suspends a bit before the UI finishes to fade. (and the screen turns off. No problems here). Then, when I resume, the fading continues from where it stops, so I can see the darkened content of the screen for 2-3 seconds. When the fading completes, the password dialog shows up and everything's fine.

So I guess it's a lack of synchronization between the GUI and the physical power state.

I run Ubuntu 9.10,
