Very much so.  In earlier fedora, the default action on ACPI was to
bring up the 'ask me' dialog; but in Fedora 15, the default was changed
to do a suspend without asking.  You can still alter the behavior on
ACPI to go back to 'ask me' (system settings, power, "when the power
button is pressed"), but I have to wonder why the default was changed.
And meanwhile I wonder what can be done in qemu to better emulate
suspend so that it doesn't render the guest useless.
