It's not what other operating systems do. > If you don't like this behaviour you could disable it by editing > /etc/powersave/events and setting > EVENT_BUTTON_POWER="ignore" but this is probably not what you want. No. IMHO, it should be the default. If you want it, you can always enable it. > If you look a /usr/lib/powersave/scripts/wm_shutdown you will see > that powersaved already tries to gracefully terminate and save the > running session and not simply kill all running processes, e.g. > the dcop ksmserver call in kde_shutdown() signals all KDE > applications to save and exit.
