[NTLUG:Discuss] somewhat odd boot behavior

[Gilbert Morrow]

In the OS GUI (KDE , Gnome) you have the ability to set a power button
event , meaning when you push the power button it initiates a event such as
bringing up a power down option , ie ... restart , power down , hibernate ,
etc..
I have mine set to power down the computer when power button is pressed
(not held) , you can set it so it will ask if you want to do the action or
just power down without any further user input (my choice) .
Everything I am alluding to is in KDE , I am not a Gnome fan thus do not
use Gnome , but it should do it as well .
