This page describes the acpi power states: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface#Power_States On my hp laptop, pressing the power button once will cause it to wake up again. On my old asus laptop (running f11 i think) this didn't work properly, though it would try to resume. If you don't want it to hibernate at all, you need to change the power profile. For kde this under the advancded tab of the system settings.
