In power manager setting, The power button is configured to "Ask" when it is pressed. The acpi event action in /etc/acpi/events/power_button is set to /bin/true When the NumLock properties is set to "true" in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboards.xml. Re-login and press Power button : nothing will happen (expected: Logout dialog) Set NumLock properties is set to "false" and re-login and press Power button then the Logout dialog appears.

looks like a dupe of bug 6549
Hi, I applied the patch from https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6549 to xfce4-power-manager version 1.0.10-73.1 (OpenSuse 12.1 packaging which have some other patches) : and the power button work again even with NumLock set to true. Now just have to wait for the patch to be integrated in future release. Thanks :-)
