I was struggiling with this for almost whole day, I wanted to have Power Button under GDM to hibernate the machine, but the settings applied under gconf / dconf did't work. I'm used as my Window Manager Cinnamon and for Display Manager GDM with opensuse branding.
dconf database seems to be not full/ I could find power management options, probably it's to gconf. But gconf was configured with some action even for gdm user.
I've tried many options with acpid including (powerbtn.sh) but with no results. So I've decied to switch to systemd native powerbutton support.
cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf

But it doesn't work either for GDM... It seemed that something else is listening for Power Button input. But systemd reported:
systemd logind delay lock is active but inhibitor timeout is reached
And after looking at systemd-inhibit I could see:
+--> ~ $ >> systemd-inhibit --list
Who: gdm (UID 482/gdm, PID 5390/gnome-settings-)
What: handle-power-key:handle-suspend-key:handle-hibernate-key

To fix this just remove media-keys.gnome-settings-plugin:
rm -f /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/media-keys.gnome-settings-plugin
This will recover the fucntion of the power button under GDM.
