Please, won't somebody think of the children. We must eliminate these dangerous things. I propose we get rid of the power button next. It's the devils button.

Maybe Fedora could consider putting this sort of stuff into a spin. They could call it Padded Cell Fedora. For people who have strange and uncontrollable urges to press random key sequences.

To be clear, this is a upstream Xorg change and not a Fedora specific one.

Actually. I quite like the 'intelligent' power button of my iMac : short-time pressing mean suspend,
long-time pressing mean shutdown. For really hard shutdown, you can always unplug the thing :-)

Wow, so the power button really doesn't have the capability to remove power?

Power buttons are universally understood to mean 'turn this thing off'. Backspace is ... not.
Even so, you'll note that pressing the power button these days just pops up a dialog box.

Backspace turns off my Emacs all the time. ;)
