Hmm. Some good points there. No, I wasn't running any of those, in fact kpowersave (which turns out to be a tray applet) wasn't even installed and Gnome still isn't. When logging out of X and pressing the button while logged on the VT, nothing happened.
Then I logged back on to X, installed this kpowersave and launched. I already had some other KDE battery monitor tray applet running, so this was now a second one. But it did indeed start handling the keypress generated by acpi_fakekey. So the laptop suspends again. (It's a pity the battery charge amount that this applet shows and the number of batteries installed seems to mismatch reality but that's a different bug and story.) So is Debian's acpi-support design for suspend-to-ram such that it _only_ works in X and only if the user has installed some particular utilities to grab the generated fakekey? Now I'm really getting interested in how could it have worked with the 2.6.22.5 kernel. And what is the purpose of /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, since it didn't seem to get involved in the suspend-to-ram orchestrated by kpowersave.
