Suspend-to-disk on close lid does not work on FC6 and Inspiron 8200

Greets.

Since I installed FC6 I have the problem with the suspend-to-disk upon
lid close on an Dell Inspiron 8200.  I used gnome-power-manager to set
up the suspend.

When I close the laptop lid, while in the Gnome session, the only effect
is that the X session is killed and gdm appears.  I would have expected
the computer to suspend to disk.  This worked well on FC5.

For the record, suspend-to-disk works well if I ask for it from the
command line or by pushing the appropriate button in the Gnome user
interface.

Any advice how I can go about debugging this?   I looked at system logs,
but could not find any indication that there might be a problem.
