I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04.

I changed my shortcut for "Lock screen" to the sleep button on my keyboard.

But instead of just locking the screen it puts my computer into hibernation/suspend mode, which is kind of annoying. I can't find where the hibernation mode is bound to the sleep button.

I already tried gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep 'nothing' (as mentioned here) but it doesn't affect the sleep button and it still goes into hibernation/suspend.

Can you help me?

I had to disable suspend button (button-suspend):

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend 'nothing'

But then the sleep/suspend button did nothing at all, even with the system shortcut, so I had to utilize the CompizConfig Settings Manager: Commands > Enable commands.

I added following for command line 0: gnome-screensaver-command -l. Then I switched to the tab "Key Bindings" and grabbed my key for command 0. (It is set to XF86Sleep now).

Everything works as expected now.
