Bug Description

There is no suspend option in the power menu with gnome. There is supposed to be some modifier + click combination which I forget but no way to find it out except by accident.

Suspend is a standard feature that's been in the unity menu and should be retained with the move to gnome shell.

One tricky part about the GNOME Shell design is that there isn't really room for another icon in the bottom row of the system status menu. See the attached screenshot.

The second icon is a lock-rotation toggle switch for supported convertible laptops with an orientation sensor.

(It's also been suggested that Log Out could be more prominent than having to click your Name first.)

There would at least be room in the restart/shutdown/cancel dialog you get after choosing the rightmost icon from that menu.

Yes, I was thinking the same as comment #4.
