I checked the above link and they give commands like:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

So they use consolekit or upower and earlier someone mentioned an
error with org.freedesktop.UDisks which probably has to do with
flushing the disk cache.

Maybe (re)installing those three package can solve the problem.
