The suspend key is recognized correctly. Here the xev output:

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001,

Then I looked in gconf, XF86Suspend is only found in this key:
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/sleep
so this should be correct.

I was unable to debug GPM. When running
$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon
(after killing running instances)
I get no output to the console whatsoever..?

When no instance gnome-power-manager is running, Fn-F1 still blanks the screen. Other buttons like the power button do not work anymore.
