I can't configure my laptop to sleep when I press the physical power button.

I chose that option in the "Battery Monitor Settings" GUI (for all power states), but it still turns off whenever I press it.

The sleep option in the kickstarter menu works fine, though.

(I also chose the "do nothing" option for when I close the lid. This works fine, so it's not like everything in the GUI is just not having an effect...)
