Anybody using XFCE or LXDE who are missing their hibernate button in

Which new kernel? I'm running 3.3.1-3.fc16.x86_64 and I see it.
3.3.1-3.fc16.i686
If you're getting yours, it probably is not the kernel, so, ...
Or should I suspect that moving the /home partition to a new partition
yesterday is to blame?
Possibly.
(Need to look up what I have to do with SELinux after a move like
this. I remember there's something that needs to be done, don't
remember exactly what.)
"restorecon -R -v /home" I believe.
Yeah. Restore context. That's one thing I need to do.
Reset a bunch of context. but there's still no hibernate. Durn.
Today, I finally did what I should've done four days ago:
STW on "hibernate setting xfce"
Google gave me some nice threads on xfconf-query:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4781
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1830829
No man entry for xfconf-query, but --help gives enough clues for what
I might have needed in another case, but not here. setting the
hibernate setting to true with
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowHibernate' -t 'bool' -s 'true'
didn't help.
But this topic give me the clue I really needed:

Really simple. on4aa pointed out that I need a functional swap for
hibernate to work. Since I had moved both /home and swap, I thought
maybe I should check, and, sure enough, swapon -s listed no active
swap. Checking /etc/fstab (Significantly cleaner on this netbook with
a fresh f16 than on my aging tower with an install that I've been
upgrading since F10 or before.) showed the entry for swap, so I tried
swapon -a
and got a message about the UUID not matching. Yep. Never fixed it
after the move. I guess the dd on the /home partition restored the
UUID, since it matches what is in fstab. Anyway,
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
showed me the new UUID, and I checked the swap partition again with
gparted because my memory just ain't what it used to be, and edited
the fstab swap entry with the new UUID and now swapon -a turns the
swap on and, yay! there is my hibernate button.
