Public bug reported: When the power button on a laptop is pressed while the unity desktop (more specifically gnome-settings-daemon) is running, the ACPI handler ignores the event. Instead gnome-settings-daemon btings up a "popup" to ask the user whether he wants to
Suspend Restart Cancel Shutdown and if the hibernate function has been enabled according to http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation also Hibernate if no action is taken, the "Shutdown" feature is auto-executed abter 60 seconds. Of these, only "Shutdown" and "Cancel" always have the intended effect, where "Shutdown" invokes a shutdown of the system and "Cancel" simply closes the dialog. "Restart" causes a system restart in about 99% of the cases only, however I had seen occasions where only the session got terminated and the login screen is presented without an actual reboot taking place! "Suspend" and "Hibernate" have NO effect, other than the dialog closes, in fact they behave the same as if "Cancel" has been pressed! When "Suspend" or "Hibernate" are selected manually in the power menu from the Unity desktop, they both work. In fact all options in that menu work.
