Why does it have to be the power switch. Why is the menu with the
appropriate choices avoidable to you (under name menu in Gnome for
example) sufficient.?
well, 2 or 3 reasons:
--it's easier to press the power button than to find the right
menu item (in Gnome 3.x)
--the menu whereof you speak includes suspend and log out, but not
hibernate, restart or shut down. I can't find a simple "shutdown"
item on any of the menus, at least on my system.... am I overlooking
something?
--it's just a reduction in functionality, so I wonder how one would
restore said functionality.
