g-p-m suspends the system without warning

[Hidde Brugmans]

My keyboard has a suspend button.
Previously, under breezy, I had set it up as a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen using the screensaver.

That shotcut is still set, but it seems that g-p-m overrides/ignores this setting, and tries to suspend the system, which miserably fails.

g-p-m should at least toss a warning, try to save the session, before seemingly cutting the power.

Cutting the power? Does the kernel crash -- in which case it's no fault of g-p-m, but if it does an orderly shutdown then it may be g-p-m at fault.

You can override this behaviour by telling gnome-power-manager not to suspend when the suspend key is pressed.

You may have to do this by running gconf-editor because there is no UI for it.

We default to not enabling suspend any more
