I've gotten out of the habit of CLI shutdowns; instead, I click
the little power button icon on my panel, and choose either Shutdown or
Reboot. That works fine.
Iirc, the last few times I tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete on any computer
(even one running XP), what it did was not shut down, but reboot. That's
one large reason I got out of the habit.
