Shutdown on power button

Hi

I want KDE to handle the power button press event on my desktop. I have selected the appropriate option in System Settings > Power management > Button events handling > 'when power button is pressed'. But it doesn't seem to have any effect on my Fedora 17 x86_64 system. When I press the power button, the system immediately powers down. I don't think KDE isn't even involved in the process. I have not tried to do the experiment with any unsaved files open. But I have a feeling that I'll lose them.

Searching the internet, I found these reports for XFCE:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746982

One solution (http://wiki.xfce.org/tips#handle_acpi_event_for_power_button_show_xfce_logout_options) is to edit /etc/acpi/events/power_button and (apparently) set it have no action. I have not tried it though. Wanted to check if there's anything I'm missing.

Does anyone else have this problem?

regards,


Syam
