Hello, first time Archer and I am quickly loving it more than the other distros I have been using over the years.
I have an oldish MacBook Pro (6,2 model, 3-4 years old) I have running Arch with base, base-devel, a variety of selected apps, and now XFCE. I got uswsusp working, and I just usually open the Linux terminal or a terminal emulator and run `sudo s2disk`. How do I configure XFCE buttons from the Logout menu to allow s2disk and s2ram? I have seen a little documentation of the xfconf-query tool and using it, for example, to completely disable such icons for kiosk mode from the official XFCE forum, but I cannot figure out how to choose the suspend and hibernate commands.
Anyone know how?

I assume no one is going to help with this, but rereading the instructions from the wiki regarding using uswsusp with the pm-utils section and using the FreeDesktop component one would use via dbus-send does not work, because it is dated.
[me@laptop ~]$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: Method is deprecated, please port to org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend
I am looking into how to fix this up. Sorry if I am being bothersome.

Well, my bad. I had some more time over the weekend and figured out if I configure systemd.hibernate and systemd.sleep service to use s2disk and s2ram respectively, XFCE clearly uses that. It was not apparently clear to me at the time.
If you are ever in a similar situation and want this feature, just read the instructions in the Uswsusp PM-Utils section, and pay attention to the systemd instructions.
