system shuts down when power button is pressed, ignoring power settings

[Frederik Elwert]

I’m running current Oneiric.

In the power settings, I set “When the power button is pressed:” to “Ask me”. Instead, the system immediately shuts down when I press the power button.

In Lucid, it used to present me with a dialog giving me different options like shutdown, reboot, etc.
