@seb128: I updated the description, is this more clear? On Unity Desktop, in the popup dialog that appears when the ACPI power button is pressed, the buttons to "suspend" and "hibernate" are non functional (see screenshot "screenshot of dialog in question").
** Description changed: - 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.
