Aha. Just installed acpid now. Looks quite nifty. /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh 
originally just said "shutdown -h 0" which I've changed to say "dcop 
- --all-users kdesktop KDesktopIface logout" so I get the KDE logout dialog 
when the power button is pressed. Nice :)

Just as long as it compiles properly I'll be happy :) ACPI working nicely is a 
bonus though.

Thanks for the help, most appreciated.
