Makes sense except that whenever I push the power button while in GUI or
CUI it shuts off.

Bios?

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.
