Description Michael Monreal 2013-10-28 21:52:25 UTC 
In order to trigger a suspend, we have to press the ALT key. This is really hard to do with just one hand.

In the old version it was possible to move the mouse to the shutdown menu item and then press ALT+SPACE on the keyboard (which is easy to do with one hand). On the new design pressing space on the shutdown "button" does not actually trigger it but instead expands the user menu.

This is still an issue on 3.12.x

This is working now.
