I felt like that when I couldn't configure GNOME to shutdown when I hit the power-button on my chassis, I could only pick to suspend.

It is not possible to change the power settings and it was removed by the GNOME developers[0] (the shutdown/power off action was considered too destructive[1]).

Bottom line: You can no longer power off your laptop by pressing the power off button.

Well, technically you can still power it down with the power button, but that's not so graceful to say the least.
