Hi
Looking at the output from;
gsettings list-keys org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power

There is;

active
button-hibernate
button-power
button-sleep
button-suspend
critical-battery-action
idle-brightness
idle-dim-ac
idle-dim-battery
idle-dim-time
lid-close-ac-action
lid-close-battery-action
notify-perhaps-recall
percentage-action
percentage-critical
percentage-low
priority
sleep-display-ac
sleep-display-battery
sleep-inactive-ac
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
sleep-inactive-ac-type
sleep-inactive-battery
sleep-inactive-battery-timeout
sleep-inactive-battery-type
time-action
time-critical
time-low
use-time-for-policy

There are options to set the keys for hibernate? I use a logitech
multimedia keyboard on my desktop and I can define the keys. This
keyboard also has a hibernate button which works fine, just like my
netbook.
