I have found some more strange things. If I switch to a regular
terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and press the power button it does a

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

Just to clarify where it is (there can be lots of options):

    Applications Menu->
        Settings->
            Settings Manager->
                Power Manager

The second item down on right is labeled "When power button is
pressed:" and has a selection box. Click in the selection box and
select your poison.
