Public bug reported: The system I'm reporting this from has an uber fresh install of Oneiric Alpha2 on it, so no suspicion of settings getting changed here.
Basically pressing the power button now defaults to suspending the system. This is very annoying especially on some netbooks with stupidly placed power buttons which get pressed accidentally. The old default was 'Ask Me' and it should remain this way unless there is a good reason not to (which I'd be glad to hear).
