Power Button initiates immediate shutdown procedure

Hi,

when I press the computer's power button my F16 system immediately starts the
shutdown procedure. Even if I'm logged in (Gnome3) all my programs are shut
down without further notice.


With F14 Gnome used to show a shutdown dialog where I could prevent the system
from powering down.

I tried to change some settings in dconf to get the old behavior by setting
all power-* keys in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power to interactive.
However this did not have any effect.


How can I either make Fedora to ignore the power button completely or show the
shutdown menu so I can cancel the shutdown?

Felix
