suspend/hibernate options have no confirmation dialog

[Rocko]

Binary package hint: indicator-session

When I select restart, shutdown, or login from the session indicator, I am prompted to confirm I want to do this.

But if I select suspend or hibernate, the action is performed immediately.

This is particularly annoying if I have selected an option by accident, and in the case of hibernate, the system crashes so it is the same as doing a restart.

From a design point of view, wouldn't it be better to have a confirmation dialog for suspend/hibernate to match the other options?

I agree that this would be a useful feature, especially for hibernate. I will see if maybe I can implement something, if anyone wants to help please feel free to contact me.
