yeah, and (beeing the direct opposite of what Martin wrote) IMHO this
behaviour totally sucks. I've never seen that any system is so ignorant
to a user pressing the power button. I actually accept that the system
shall not shutdown _immediately_ if someone presses the power button,
because it might happen by accident (also I can not really understand
how someone can press the power button accidental) but at least it
should do that after a timeout just like it does if I call
"System->Shutdown" in the gnome menu. Actually this is the behaviour I
expect and so certainly the most of previous windows users do.

Is there any chance that this will be changed?

Regards,
Patrick
