With quantal I still have problems, like jabastien above. Pressing the power button pops up a dialog where only the shutdown button works. The suspend button does nothing. When I pick suspend from the menu in the top right corner the computer will enter suspend mode. Ideally I could set the power button to immediately suspend but there doesn't seem to be an option for this.

When the laptop is open and unlocked, it works fine. When the screensaver is active or the lid closed (I have lock on lid-close, but see #428115) the button doesn't appear to do anything. This works in Jaunty and worked in Karmic up until the last week or so. Expected behaviour is that triggering the hardware button should always suspend the computer. It's quite handy for when I've shut the lid because I paused my work and then want to suspend to move elsewhere.
