Half moon key is a key for 'power saver' instead of 'power off', so the current dialog is actually confusing users. You know those actions like power saver/off are handled by Gnome-power-manager in Gnome. So if users want to an interaction here, maybe we need discuss it in Gnome Community.
Anyway, power button on the machine should pop up the same dialog, you may use that (there is a bug recently which breaks the function, I'm not sure if it will affect your system). > Will there be no more power-off action with the power > key?

Solaris currently only supports suspend to disk on SPARC and suspend to ram on X86 (probably some hardwares). Maybe in the future, kernel dev could implement all of them. lin > On Sun, May 10, 2009 at 7:13 PM, Lin Ma<Lin.Ma at sun.com> wrote: > >> We are going to map half moon key to the action 'suspend to ram', Shift+half >> moon key to 'suspend to disk'.
