I discovered a fairly simple workaround for this problem.  If you edit a
file called

    ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/%gconf.xml

and change the value for the entry with name "power" to "nothing", this
seems to keep this countdown dialog from ever appearing.  (I suspect
that if you edit the power preferences later that it will undo this
edit.)

        <entry name="power" mtime="1229948465" type="string">
                <stringvalue>nothing</stringvalue>
        </entry>
