I have found some more strange things. If I switch to a regular

Try to configure it in your Desktop (KDE, Gnome or whatever you are
using)

Emilio.

As far as I find there is no program in F16 that will allow you to
program what happens when you press the power button except to
shutdown. There is no gnome power manager with F16 and previous
versions of that program did not provide that service.
xfce4-power-manager is present but does not provide that service.

it should.

preferences -> when power button is pressed -> [ list ]

where list is:

ask
shutdown
suspend
nothing
