But this topic give me the clue I really needed: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=197&t=97684 Really simple. on4aa pointed out that I need a functional swap for hibernate to work. Since I had moved both /home and swap, I thought maybe I should check, and, sure enough, swapon -s listed no active swap. Checking /etc/fstab (Significantly cleaner on this netbook with a fresh f16 than on my aging tower with an install that I've been upgrading since F10 or before.) showed the entry for swap, so I tried swapon -a and got a message about the UUID not matching. Yep. Never fixed it after the move. I guess the dd on the /home partition restored the UUID, since it matches what is in fstab. Anyway, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid showed me the new UUID, and I checked the swap partition again with gparted because my memory just ain't what it used to be, and edited the fstab swap entry with the new UUID and now swapon -a turns the swap on and, yay! there is my hibernate button.

Anybody using XFCE or LXDE who are missing their hibernate button in the logout dialog after the recent kernel upgrade?

Or should I suspect that moving the /home partition to a new partition yesterday is to blame?

(Need to look up what I have to do with SELinux after a move like this. I remember there's something that needs to be done, don't remember exactly what.)
