On my Latitudes, if pressing the power button powers the machine off
completely rather than waking it up, it means that the machine was hung
when it went into standby. (Usually, just pressing the power button has
no effect at all when this happens, but pressing the button and holding it
for 5-10 seconds will cut the power.) Various things can cause the hangup
(X server is a likely candidate), but many of them have workarounds that
can be enabled in /etc/sysconfig/apmd.
Also, you might go through your BIOS settings and see if any affect the
standby behavior.
