suspending / hibernating is only for laptops! |

If you run gnome-power-manger (configure through |
| 22 |
gnome-power-preferences) you might find General > "When the suspend |
| 23 |
button is pressed" does something for that key. |

|
| 25 |
Otherwise, go to system preferences > keyboard shortcuts. From there |
| 26 |
you may be able to map the button to the "suspend" action. |

This all requires gnome. Don't know the kde way. Otherwise you can |
| 29 |
use X tools as well (xmodmap, setxkbmap or whatever the tools are, |
| 30 |
can't remember!) |

you could also make it a launcher on your panel / desktop. |
