I guess you don't wan't to remove the g-p-m feature, you just want to
manage it. i.e. authorized user can still hibernate the computer,etc. ;)
1. power management authorization are granted through "powerdev" group
membership.
2. you can also use gconf-editor to fine-grain control what user has
_access_ to (In gconf-editor's help Menu, read "Default and Mandatory
Settings" pages).
look the gconf keys in /apps/gnome-power-manager/, like :
- can_hibernate : If the user is authorized to hibernate the computer.
- action_button_hibernate : "Hibernate button" action
Of course, if you don't want anybody to hibernate|suspend your computer,
you can disable it (see /etc/hibernate/ram.conf and hibernate.conf)

see pam_group (see http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/308
but for group 'powerdev').
