Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

gnome-power-manager does not allow you to set the suspend button to "Do Nothing" or "Ask Me". It does have these options for the power button which is generally harder to hit by accident.

This is a bug, not a feature request as argued in #712650. System is behaving in a non-consensual manner which can endanger the integrity of the system. Suspend button on Dynex DX-WKBD is located on corner of keyboard and very easy to bump. It was possible to disable this key in previous ubuntu/debian releases; indeed since a parrot used to share the workstation, it was necessary to disable all particularly destructive keys like suspend and window close. Also related to expired bug #492030.
