There should be a (or at least there was, if it's not there anymore, I
haven't used Beta 3 yet) Power Management module in YaST. I'm sure it
probably has control over the g-p-m app too, so it applies to all users
(but I could be wrong).

No, there isn't anymore. Power Management is controlled on the desktop by
the user. And I think that's actually what 99% of all usual home users
want.

Yes, as long as we (users) make the decision to hibernate automatically or not. It is different when you set the default to hibernate without asking us.

For instance: my home machine serves a samba share to my external digital TV box, so that it can do time shifting and recording. With your default of hibernating, you can make it loose data!

And even on homes, a machine can have several users, and I have no click and shoot method of changing that default. That's all I ask: either change the default, or provide a click and shoot method (or CLI script at least) to change that default system wide.
