Ok, I "solved" this issue, by moving to Kubuntu. KDE allows the user to choose what which button should do. So I simply linked the "switch off" command to the button on my keyboard and now it works as before. No idea why Ubuntu is making such a mess of a simple feature like this. Additionally I am now able to have buttons on both sides of the window title bars. What a nice feature on a quite large TV screen.
