[SOLVED]Gnome power: suspend, sleep, shutdown buttons

I just installed gnome, and I'm at a loss at how to sleep my computer.  When I press the desktop power button, it only gives me three options: "cancel", "restart", "power off".  What if I just want to sleep the computer, and what if I would like to do this through the desktop environment (as opposed to terminal)?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome power: suspend, sleep, shutdown buttons

Press the power button, and then press the ALT key. This will give you suspend. You are welcome to the little gnome-exit script I hacked from the internet... I have a ctrl-alt-del keybinding to the script

#!/bin/sh

# File Name: gnome-exit
# Purpose: exit script for gnome-shell
# depends on faenza-icon-theme for icons
# depends on gtkdialog
# Latest Change: 10-21-2014
