** Description changed:

- 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.
+ 
+ See also bug 736606, the equivalent problem for closing the lid.

Title:
  Can't disable suspend button

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

Bug description:
  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.
