Yes, i did. But what i do not understand is:

In Debian "sid"+LXDE (which has a similar kernel version than those of
Lubuntu 12.04) all works fine.

Btw, i use the xfce powermanagement. And moreover, it's not clear to
me, which powermanagement utility rules: xfce-powermanagement or
pbbuttonsd?

Finally, there seems to be an issue, when i manually (from the
comandline) suspend-to-disk on a firewire hd (whereon actually my
Lubuntu 12.04 is): after reactivating the system cannot read the
suspend file (on the internal hd that works). I looked a bit through
the various log files but i didn't find the related one (there are so
many different ones ;-) ).
