I think it depends very much on your distribution, because the config file
for the apmd is not always the same. First of all, shutting down the apmd
completely works for testing. This can be done by "/etc/init.d/apmd stop".
If you have an old SuSE version, it can also be /sbin/init.d/apmd or maybe
also /etc/rc.d/apmd.
If that works but you need the apmd for something else (ejecting pcmcia
or stopping sound), search for the apmd config file. On SuSE systems,
this is /etc/rc.config.d/apmd.rc.config. You should be able to figure
it out by listing all files in the apmd package. I don't know how to
do this on debian, but on an rpm-based system to "rpm -ql apmd" and
look for a filename that could be the config file. In this file, you
should find an option like "LEAVE_X_BEFORE_SUSPEND". Setting this to
"no" solves the problem on my system. 
If you have a RedHat system, this posting might also interest you
(the link on the dell site has changed, but searching for "linux and apm"
on the main page will bring you there):
