Hmm, I guess I should have specified what kind of 'suspend' I meant: Suspend to 
ram. Not suspend to disk!

When I close the laptop lid, kde does NOTHING but lock the screen. I disabled 
all other power management actions in kde's systemsettings.
The suspend is done by a script independend of kde, and that's working just 
fine. It's only kde taking that long..

Even if kde ignored my settings and writes and reads stuff from disk when I 
close/open the laptop lid: A second after I close the lid, the LED on the 
laptop begins to blink, saying that the computer is suspended to ram.
Kde could never write the whole ram to disk in that second.

Any more ideas?
