Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
The power button suspends the computer. I read the developers deemed it 'too
destructive'. That is a very questionable assumption.
Is the user also considered incapable of deciding what s/he wants if the dialog
to power off, restart, suspend or hibernate the system is displayed? Don't they
think that some users might like to at least have the chance to configure the
behavior in the configuration? What is the point of having a suspend and power
off buttons in a computer if both do the same?
Please configure the power button to display the dialog to restart,
suspend, shutdown the computer, or at least make it easy to users to
select that by using the dconf-editor tool.
** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
