Hello,
can you suspend as root?
If you cannot suspend as root you might have missed to configure your kernel for suspending.
You can find it here:
| Code: |
General Setup --->
[*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support
Power management and ACPI options --->
[*] Power Management support
[*] Suspend to RAM and standby
[*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')
() Default resume partition
[*] ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->

I don't use GNOME, I used XFCE. Nonetheless, I have two suspicions based on XFCE on Arch:
1) You don't have PolicyKit enabled.
2) Even if you do, users may have to be in the "power" group in order to do suspend/hibernate/shutdown .

I had installed the package policykit:
| Code: | $ equery list policykit
[ Searching for package 'policykit' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1 (0) |
How to enable PolicyKit ?
and there is no group named "power" in my system.any ideas? |

Meaningless. It's sys-auth/polkit. |

Looks like there is both "policykit" and "polkit" in the Portage tree. In any event, gnome-base/gnome should probably be emerged with the "policykit" USE flag enabled; if the USE flag isn't enabled already, then sys-auth/consolekit and sys-apps/hal should be re-emerged as well.
Beyond this I don't have any good ideas.

Hypnos, if he's using a decently recent Gnome (that is at least 2.30), hal is meaningless,
as is sys-auth/policykit. The authorization goes through dbus/polkit/consolekit.
Xiwang, see, if ck-list-sessions lists your session as active. |

Thank you for the correction. I'm glad that GNOME has moved past HAL; waiting for XFCE to get there.

Run the command "ck-list-sessions" in a terminal, and post the output. For example, on my machine:
| Code: | # ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2010-12-15T02:24:56.741796Z'
login-session-id = ''

At least that part works.
Now, what version of gnome-power-manager you've got installed ? |

How about a proper update first ?
That version is out of the tree for nearly 2 months. |
