Bug Description

So when I press the power button a menu appears in the middle of the screen having 4 options:
Suspend, Restart, Cancel, Shutdown.
When selecting "Suspend", nothing happens.

However if I use the mouse to click at the icon in the upper right corner, where a menu pops up, having these entries
"About this computer"
Ubuntu help
--
System Settings
--
Lock
<UserName>
--
Log out ...
Suspend
Restart...
Shutdown...

I can click on suspend and suspend works as expected.
Sidenote: there is a "..." missing after Suspend in the menu.

g-power-manager merely contains the gnome-power-statistics program these days; it's gnome-session which handles the power button (or perhaps gnome-settings-daemon's power plugin).
