I used to be able to remove the Sleep and Hibernate options from the kde Leave menu, systemwide, by having pm-is-supported do an "exit 1".

However, after the kde 4.6.1 update this no longer stops the Sleep and Hibernate items appearing. How would I remove these items systemwide now?

You have to deny the org.freedesktop.upower.suspend and org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate PolicyKit policies to your users.

Thanks, but I think I need a little more info, on the right way to do this...

After reading some of the policykit docs and man pklocalauthority and a few web pages I tried adding a file 10-xray.pkla with contents:

[Disable hibernate/suspend for all users] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.suspend;org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no

into /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/30-site.d, but that doesnt seem to disable the hibernate/suspend buttons.

I also tried editting /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy and replacing

<allow_active>yes</allow_active> with <allow_active>no</allow_active> in the <action id="org.freedesktop.upower.suspend"> section, but that doesnt work either.

Can you advise on the correct way to deny these policies to my users please?
