We should probably drop the -force package and merge it back in
suspend-scripts, since we want suspend/resume to work by default.

Nope, KDE doesn't yet. At least not in 2006.0, but Laurent and I will
backport some patches so that it works fine.

Actually, the KDE helper (klaptop_acpi_helper) used to write directly
in /proc, which isn't good, because on resume, a button/power ACPI
event will be sent, which makes the system halt...
A solution is to make it use our scripts, which create a lock file on
suspend to prevent that.
