I'm using Kubuntu and expected something similar to Windows's Power Management applet in the Control Panel. I want my laptop to Hibernate when I press the power button, instead of doing it manually from the menu. Preferably using some GUI management tool, not the console.

KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Power Management -> Edit Profiles has all the adjustments, and includes power button suspend to disk.
