gnome-power-manager doesn't block the execution of these scripts at all. Some scripts (eg, /etc/acpi/sleep.sh) contain a check to see if gnome- power-manager is running, before executing the action.
On a default system, the acpi-support scripts aren't used during sleep/shutdown etc. Ubuntu uses pm-utils by default, unless you have a strange configuration that tries to sleep using the acpi-support scripts. If you want to use acpi-support to send the machine to sleep, and you have gnome-power-manager running, just run "sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh force".
