Comment 6 for bug 268734

Losing your work because you or somebody else accidentally clicked on the power button is a bug in my opinion. Windows for example notifies all running applications about the shutdown so they are able to ask you whether you want to save your work or not. All applications are be killed by initd.
If other users are using the system they will also loose their work.
Using the shutdown system of kde it asks me whether i really want to shutdown or not if another user is logged in. I don't know the behavior of ubuntu. Maybe the acpi event of hitting the power button should be forwarded to dbus.
