Power switch shutdown lost
« on: September 28, 2011, 05:54:54 PM »
With recent versions of LXDE just pressing the power button on my computer was enough to initiate an orderly shutdown.  Since the last update this hasn't worked.  A minor problem as there are other ways, but I kind of got used to it!

That seems a bad habit to get into. Try using LXDE-Logout instead. It is the red icon to the extreme right of lxpanel.

Hi,

It is possible to configure keybindings in the rc.xml file. ie: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S for shutdown... it must not be a shortcut which may trigger another action, of course.
You can find a start for the related doc here : http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:DefaultConfiguration

Regards,
Mélodie

Perhaps you can add gnome-power-manager to do the job?
