Public bug reported:
While running Unity or GNOME Shell, pressing the hardware Power button
opens a dialog offering to shut down, restart, or (if supported) suspend
the computer, with a countdown to automatically shut down after 60
seconds. This is very useful, but it is critical that this behaviour is
consistent across the system: users can expect pressing the Power button
to be a safe escape route if they want to shut down the computer at any
point (which can sometimes be difficult, if not downright impossible -
especially if you have trouble seeing).
Unfortunately, pressing the power button from the login screen does
nothing. The system does not shut down, and no dialog appears.
