Out of the box, with SuSe 9.0 Pro, there is no way for regular user to shutdown the computer without logging out of his session when using Gnome and GDM.
¿Without logging out of the X session? Yes, there is. Switch to a text console: [ctrl][alt][F1..F6] and there, without login in, ctrl-alt-del - it will reboot or halt or ignore you depending on configuration (somewhere in yast). Faster than typing anything - but I would prefer to log off first. This has worked since SuSE 6 at least, so I guess 9.0 does as well. And... with acpi, the kernel can know that the power button has been pressed and initiate the halt process. I tried that for sleep, and it does sleep... but never awakes. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
