I checked that and tried exactly those steps with gdm3 instead of gdm though.
Yes, the power button doesn't work anymore after loggin off, but the reason was
not a bug in one of the scripts but gnome-power-manager which was still running
albeit under a different user. I have no idea why this happens, but as far as
acpi-support is concerned the behaviour seems to be correct.

Are you sure that gnome-power-manager is no longer running? That means did you check via ps?
