Yes, right ....

But this is not exactly what one is expecting when trying to get the 
computer shutting down itself.

The moreover, when you have a computer room and you pressed once a 
button to get the computer shutting down and turning off safely and now 
having to shutdown and pressing each button for 4 seconds (or more) to 
get off each of them.

The point is between 2.6.10-1.770-FC3 and 2.6.11-1.14-FC3 the power off 
behavious changed and doesn't work anymore.
