Title:
  Can't disable suspend button

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
