It was NOT about suspend/resume, it was about the auto-dimming when on
battery and when idle that gnome-power-manager is doing. The problem
is that when  you are at 80% while working, then it will be dimmed to
40% when idle, and when going back it will be only up at 60%
(NUMBERS ARE FAKE, but to give you an idea what the effect is).

Anway, your hack around saving/restoring the video space might be useful
for some.

Best wishes
