Basically, suspend or sleep is powering off and disabling as much hardware as practical yet keeping everything alive or suspended in RAM. Suspending is an ACPI feature supported in the computer's BIOS. Hibernation is copying the user's entire RAM contents and desktop session on to the user's hard drive. The data is copied to the hard drive swap partition or file. Basically a full RAM snapshot being stored on disk. Upon powering up the computer, that information is restored intact. The old rule-of-thumb was the swap partition or file must be larger than the amount of RAM in the computer. I don't think that rule-of-thumb still applies but probably is a good starting point. A minor variation of this is most if not all desktop environments allow saving desktop sessions. Sort of a miniature snapshot of the user's desktop -- which apps are open, which files are open, etc. In TDE the default keyboard shortcut to log out or end the desktop session is Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The user's keyboard shortcuts are stored in $TDEHOME/share/config/khotkeysrc. The shortcuts can be changed in KControl->Regional & accessibility->Keyboard Shortcuts. In that KControl module, look in the Global Shortcuts tab. In the "Desktop" section the shortcut for "Log Out" is 'Ctrl+Alt+Delete'. Log out features are configurable. Look in KControl->TDE Components->Session Manager. I am uncertain, but I think you are describing screen locking. Look in the tdepowersave configuration dialog. Look in the General Settings tab->Lock Screen options.
