The action is controlled by /etc/acpi/events/powerconf. That defaults to running /etc/acpi/actions/power.sh. That script checks to see if a power manager is running. If so, the event is passed to the power manager. Is not, the system runs the shutdown command.
Now, depending on what desktop you are running, you set what you want to happen by setting the action in the power manager setup. (This is under System Settings -->Power in Gnome.)
