Power button shuts down system w/o logging out; doesn't respect PowerDevil settings

[Adam Porter]

I have PowerDevil set to Suspend to RAM when the power button is pressed in Performance mode. This is on a desktop PC which is always in Performance mode. When I pressed the power button, the hard disk started churning, but nothing happened on the screen. After 30-60 seconds, the system powered off--it did not enter suspend mode. When I restarted and logged back in to KDE, the session had not been saved--KDE hadn't been logged out, so of course it didn't save it. I'm glad I didn't have any important data open and unsaved in any apps, because they would have been terminated without being asked to save data.
