Hi!

I use debian testing, with a standard 2.6.8-1-686 kernel,  acpid
1.0.4-1, thinkpad-modules 5.8-1+2.6.8-10,ipw2100-module
1.1.0-1+2.6.8-686, and have
/etc/acpi/bowerbutn.sh containing:
-----
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been
# pressed.

if ps -Af | grep -q '[k]desktop' && test -f /usr/bin/dcop
then
    dcop --all-sessions --all-users ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2 0 && exit 0
else
    /sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"
fi
-----

and in this setup, switching off with the powerbutton works charming...

Cheers

Gijs
