It is not true that sleep.sh skips things like handling STOP_SERVICES (and all the suspend.d and resume.d entries) if gnome-power-manager or klaptopdaemon is running. The theory is that g-p-m or klaptopdaemon will see the ACPI sleep event and should itself invoke sleep.sh with the "force" parameter. Rob: are you sure anacron doesn't get invoked on resume if you add it to STOP_SERVICES in Dapper?

What I think we should do is add an entry /etc/acpi/resume.d/85-anacron.sh which contains

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null

And, for completeness, a corresponding 'stop' script /etc/acpi/suspend.d/15-anacron.sh in case anacron is still running when the user suspends.

Would be great if someone running Dapper on a laptop could try that.

It would be nice to also invoke anacron whenever the AC adaptor is plugged in, as happens under APM via /etc/apm/events/anacron. However acpi-support doesn't currently contain a run-parts directory for power events.
