    Disable sleep mode shortcut key

    How can I disable the functionality that puts the computer to sleep when I press the sleep button on my keboard?

    I keep hitting it accidentally and I don't even use a swap, so Ubuntu just stalls with a black screen.

    Hit Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor. Then go to apps -> gnome-power-manager -> buttons. Edit the value for the suspend button and type "nothing". The sleep key should stop working now.
