#1395: System shutdown UI should not be the power/reset button.

 Right now, we have the power button hooked up to do a clean Linux
 shutdown.  This is bad on two grounds:
   1) hitting it accidentally has potentially catastrophic consequences to
 the user's work.
   2) it is near the game buttons, and reports from the field are this is
 happening pretty frequently.  While I hope we can slightly recess the
 button, this may or may not be possible at this date.

 So the proposal is to make momentary pressing of the power/reset button
 suspend rather than shutdown the system.  Eben and I both like this idea.
 And hitting it by accident isn't a big deal; pressing any key wakes you up
 again.

 So when we deploy power management, the UI should change to put shutdown
 someplace other than the power button; ergo pushing it to Eben for UI
 thought; this frees a momentary push to become suspend.
 When designed, Eben can reassign this to Sugar for implementation.

 I rate this high, as integrating even basic suspend/resume is very high
 pay off low hanging fruit.
