Suspend and hibernate names

Microsoft Windows and OSX have decided on names for the sleep actions and it's about time Linux did the same. We are hurting the user experience with ad-hoc and confusing policies about naming.

Developing gnome-power-manager (and a chunk of the power management in HAL) gives me first-hand experience of the ways users, distros, packagers and developers can and do get this wrong.

From an Ubuntu bugzilla entry:

here's from NOTES from 'hotkey-setup'
When the machine should be put to sleep in some fashion:
KEY_SLEEP signals Suspend to RAM (Suspend, technically called "standby")
KEY_SUSPEND signals Suspend to Disk (Hibernate, technically called "suspend"...)


I hope this page can convert some of the wacky/zany/confusing/crazy software out there to stick to common names.

I'm now trying to get project, vendor and distro buy-in so that we can all be using the same names. Comments appreciated.
