I had a good hunch you wouldn't be satisfied with Gnome :)

That's cool! Do you think this would fit somewhere in the Wiki or as an 
AUR package? Are you sure you want hybrid-sleep instead of plain 
hibernate: both will save your state to disk but with hybrid-sleep you 
run the risk of running your battery all the way down, which supposedly 
isn't healthy for the battery
