I'm adding a comment to this bug because I'd like clarifcation -- I noticed after upgrading to Dapper this system just powers off when I press the power button. In Breezy, pressing the power button initiated a shutdown procedure. I have no idea whether it was "good" from an X perspective, but at least it didn't just kill the power.

I noticed Bug #2882 describing behavior in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh but it seems pretty definite that script is NOT being invoked when I press the power button on this (eMonster 550r Desktop) system.

Is mine more likely a bug in the ACPI scripts, or an issue requiring a kernel parameter or other recognition of the power capabilities in the BIOS, or both?
