	On Solaris, when inside X (running CDE) the shutdown doesn't happen imediately,
	but a requester prompts the user for the action he would like to happen, giving
	him "shutdown", "suspend" and "abort" as options.

I don't think it's a good idea to have a single key turn off the
machine.  I have had many instances where I have hit the power
key on SPARCs accidentally or the screen is blank and I think it's
shut down.  I think we need some way to verify the intention before
shutting down on that keystroke.
