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).

It's unrelated if you have a Sun hardware, it's how solaris supports the 
hardware. 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.
