Getting E17's hibernation to work...

Question

Hey,
I just installed E17 and can't seem to get its hibernation button to work. (suspend works OK!)
First of all, hibernation works perfectly through command line with:
sudo pm-hibernate
and
sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate
my /etc/sudoers
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl suspend
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate
my /etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf
action: halt /usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
action: reboot /usr/bin/systemctl reboot
action: suspend /usr/bin/systemctl suspend
action: hibernate sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate
action: /bin/mount /bin/mount
action: /bin/umount /bin/umount
action: /usr/bin/eject /usr/bin/eject
action: gdb gdb

I'm on Debian and discovered E17 two weeks ago. I had the same problem saz mentioned and found no clue anywhere on the Internet. At last, I found out that it's a bug in the default Compositor of E17. I switched to Ecomorph and the hibernation button worked It should also work with all compositors disabled.
As this page is among the first ones that come up when a solution to this problem is searched, I preferred to post a reply here.
