gnome-power-management: /etc/group question

gnome-power-management suspending works great for me as root , but not as unprivileged user:

# groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel log
# su print
$ groups
wheel video audio power noah thinkpad

Wondering why this is?  (pm-suspend works as unprivileged user)

TIA,
print

well, have a look at error messages (users.log, errors.log, messages.log, pm-suspend.log, ecc...). Did you log out after adding the "power" group to your user?
