Yes, and that works fine, *if* the user is logged in. But what about when the workstation is sitting there at the login window? At that point, when the action from power.conf is taken, there is no power manager, so it does the shutdown. I'm wanting to get a prompt in that situation, too.
Maybe try (untested): sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/action_button_power sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/action_button_power -t string interactive sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/action_button_power
