Ick, I guess I guess to forgot to remove the .ui element too, sorry.

I can't access https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643976 yet,
so I can't remember the reason for this change. I was just asked to
remove the feature for gnome-power-manager. From my point of view, I
suppose a button press should probably just do an instant action,
rather than present a dialog box.

I don't care which option gets chosen, to be honest. I've pretty much
stopped making design decisions for my GNOME modules.

I'll hold off any release until we're either fixed the UI or
re-instated the feature.

Thanks,
