I downloaded Kubuntu Feisty Herd5, and tested using the Live CD.

I can say it is promising.

Issuing the following commands on my Toshiba laptop:

# sudo bash
# /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

Causes the blue power LED to become flashing amber (meaning it did go to suspend). Pressing it makes it go back normally to a functioning desktop. No more hourglass/respawn problem.

On a whim, I tried with the Kubuntu Edgy CD as a live CD. Doing the same steps above causes the screen to blank, but the LED stays blue (i.e. power on), and nothing happens.

This means I cannot reproduce the problem with Edgy as a live CD, but there sure is hope with Feisty.

I will wait till Feisty is officially released before I plunge into an upgrade.
