Permission issue with pm-suspend

I'm running gnome and I would like to have the suspend option in the shutdown menu as a regular usar.  Suspend works via pm-suspend, but its annoying to have to go through a terminal to put the laptop to sleep. 

I checked the "can suspend" box in gconf editor, but I still don't have the option in gnome.  I think its a permission issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it.  I added the the regular user to the power group and I followed the pm-utils guide in the wiki.  Has dealt and/or solved this issue?

Re: Permission issue with pm-suspend

Also from the wiki page, you may want to look at setting up how to execute it without a root password.
