[COLUG] Hibernate/suspend button

A few months ago I had a neat mod for KDE--the shut down dialog box had an 
extra button that said "Suspend computer". If you held down Shift, it changed 
to "Hibernate computer". Just like Windows XP. Depending on it's state when 
you clicked it, it would either execute 'pmi action hibernate' or 'pmi action 
suspend'. This is the "Debian way" (e.g. cross-architecture, cross-system) to 
do such things--pmi is an abstraction script on various platform-specific PM 
interfaces. Now, I cannot find the source code (or binaries, for that matter) 
that I modified anywhere, and I'm having trouble remembering how I pulled 
that off. I modified the kdebase module, specifically the ksmserver 
component. Is there anyone familiar with C++, KDE, and Qt on this list who 
would have a basic idea of how to do such a thing that could jog my memory?

Thanks!
