Bug Description

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook (Intel Core i7). The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get continuously working better.

One important feature of a tablet is that if you press the power button that it gets into suspend mode so that you can carry it without accidentally changing something when touching the touch screen (and to save battery power while carrying the device). On the Nexus 7 with Ubuntu Raring Desktop this works.

On my Thinkpad Twist the machine shuts down without any confirmation dialog (even bad for laptop mode, there should be at least a confirmation dialog). At least in tablet mode it should suspend when pressing the power button and wake up when pressing the power button again.
