For 'modern' hardware with operational acpi the power button does a
clean shutdown, so there is an argument to be made for this being a
forward looking default. I'm not really concerned about arguing about
default behavior i just want to know how to re-enable it for my older
hardware as needed and whether or not this needs to be filed if this
is actually a bug.  If this is an intended change in default behavior,
I'll let other people light the torches and wave around pitchforks
while lusting for the sticky sweet blood of developers.  I'll gladly
settle for learning how to reconfigure options as needed so I can get
a shutdown back on my gdm login for my older non-acpi hardware.
