> Desktop systems have neither a lid nor a suspend button so... how does one suspend a desktop machine under GNOME 3.6?
Last time I tried under Gnome 3, a short press on the power button suspended the computer (unlike on Gnome 2, where it showed a much more useful dialog asking what to do; even then, the list of options included suspend and hibernate IIRC). That was on a laptop, but it should work the same on a desktop.

It seems logical to me that pressing the Power button would do whatever picking the default suspend/power off item does in the menu. So under GNOME 3.6 I would assume that pressing the button will simply power off the machine, naturally without prompting me before destroying all my work. I'll try it once it shows up in Debian.

Well, Debian is in suspended animation at the moment.
